The Red Bull class action lawsuit challenged the beverage maker’s promises that “Red Bull gives you wings” and that it “vitalizes body and mind” due to its mixture of ingredients that could supposedly improve a consumer’s mental and physiological performance. However, the plaintiffs allege Red Bull is no more effective than caffeine from, for example, a cup of coffee or a caffeine pill.
