The warning, issued on Friday, notes that the energy drinks may be unsafe due to their caffeine content and labelling issues. On its website, the federal government cautioned people not to consume, use, sell, serve or distribute recalled products. It also noted that the recall was because brands were not in compliance with standards on caffeine content and proper labelling.

More than 30 brands are included in the recall, including Monster, G Fuel and Prime.

According to the federal government, anyone who thinks they became sick from consuming a recalled product should contact their health-care provider. It added that recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.
