A Louisville mother said she’s concerned about the safety of energy drinks after her daughter ended up in the emergency room after drinking one.Angela Stokes said her daughter’s experience should be a wake-up call to all parents. Under the law, there is no age limit on energy drinks, but Stokes said she thinks there should be after what happened to her 10-year-old daughter, Ollivia Strickland, while attending a skating party.
“She came home from skating and she was real hyper and jumping around and she said her heart was beating really fast,” said Stokes.”She was super-hyper. I thought after skating for four or five hours, she’d be worn out, but she was just hyper,” said Adam Laslie, Ollivia’s stepfather.Stokes and Laslie said they knew something wasn’t right with Ollivia.”So her heart started racing and her blood pressure went up and her anxiety went up and we ended up in the emergency room,” said Stokes.
