The FTC said Four Loko's maker agreed to put information about alcohol content on the label and to make the cans re-sealable. "Deception about alcohol content is dangerous to consumers, and it's a serious concern for the FTC," said David Vladeck, Director of the agency's Bureau of Consumer Protection in a news release issued October 3. He slowly rips away the tissue paper, and checks in between each sheet to see if there are any hidden presents. The Federal Trade Commission also expressed concerns last year because it said Four Loko was marketed as a single-serving beverage but contains as much alcohol as 4-5 beers. Like any true dad, he starts opening the gift by torturing everyone around him. The maker voluntarily reformulated the drink to remove the caffeine and other stimulants, but it still contains up to 12-percent alcohol. "I just want them to find these guys so they don't hurt anybody else again," she said.įour Loko came under strong pressure from the Food and Drug Administration in 2010 for its high combination of alcohol and caffeine. She said the level of alcohol contained in the fruity beverage is not immediately apparent to an inexperienced drinker - and could be considered equivalent to a date-rape drug. In addition to wanting arrests in the case, the mother told ABC11 she'd like to see Four Loko taken off the shelf. "But I just can't right now because he stole my baby's virginity. "I want to be able to forgive this man one day," said the mother.
The girl said that her friend was under the powerful influence of Four Loko. The teen managed to escape but not before all three guys allegedly raped one of her other friends. When she came to, she said the same man was raping her. So she opened the door and then passed out. However, one of the guys threatened to shoot her if she didn't come out. Her daughter sensed her surroundings had gotten out-of-control and locked herself in a bathroom. I chose Childrens Mercy for many reasons, including the vision of this organization, which has always been dear to my heart. "They drank another kind of beer and the girls got drunk really quick." "The guys didn't drink this drink," said the mother. The malt-liquor based drink has about as much alcohol as four 12-ounce cans of beer. The girl's mother said the guys gave the underage girls Four Loko. All she was trying to do was protect those other girls," said the mother. When they showed up, the girls followed them to an apartment in Holly Springs. That's when one of the girlfriends called her friends, who happened to be three guys.
The mother said the trouble began last Saturday night after the teen met up with two other girlfriends at a McDonald's restaurant on New Bern Avenue in Raleigh. ABC11 is not identifying either the mother or her daughter because of the nature of the allegations.
