iStock Editorial/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Could energy shots be getting the boot?
Indiana-based shot-maker 5-Hour Energy is facing lawsuits in both Oregon and Washington Friday morning, as litigators claim the company exercised deceptive advertising in the sale of their products, as well as a host of other devious practice allegations.
The 10-year-old company said in a statement that it would fight the suit.
“When companies are being bullied by someone in a position of power, these companies roll over, pay the ransom, and move on,” 5-Hour Energy spokeswoman Melissa Skabich said in a statement. “We’re not doing that.”
