Statement by Senator Jeff Klein on SLA investigation into Caffeinated Four Loko sales

Local Downtown Manhattan Newspaper finds sales continue

Statement from Senator Jeffrey D. Klein, (D-Bronx/ Westchester), Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Alcoholism & Drug Abuse:

“News of a State Liquor Authority probe regarding on-going sales of caffeinated Four Loko proves that a simple gentleman's agreement is not enough to keep this dangerous product off store shelves and out of New York State. My legislation, (S.3889A), to outright ban caffeinated alcoholic beverages passed the Senate this session. The Assembly needs to do its part to protect New Yorkers from this product, which the FDA deemed 'unsafe,' and pass my bill as soon as possible.”
