Yes, the kids “shared” their experience, stating that this product made them feel “better”, with the result that the consumption of a particular formulation to be known.

The letter
Subject: On the withdrawal recall / withdrawal for an energy drink under the brand name “HELL ENERGY DRINK”.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We will contact you after complaints that we received about the energy drink with the brand name “HELL ENERGY DRINK”. The product in question while (after informing to the media.M.E. http://www.iefimerida.gr/news/222344/anaklisi-energeiakoy-potoy-apo-ton-efet-eikona 21/8/2015) had been withdrawn, however, continues to move freely in the market. Parents from the area of the Mastaba of Heraklion of us complained that a mini market near Municipal school distributes this energy drink and features without limitation and in children aged 6-12 years. As you can imagine a lot of kids come and go from school without the escort of their parents, with the result that they may purchase the product in question. After information that we had enough children have tried this drink and the ignorance that exists about the side effects that causes a lot of fear that can create a problem in their health, physical and mental.
We are asking your organization to check again the movement of the specific product as in addition and similar products, as well as in young ages can cause many problems and side effects from the reckless consumption (addiction etc. ). Please check all of the mini market and kiosks which are close to schools and make necessary recommendations to the operators for handling of the product.
Due to the young age of the children but also the ignorance that many parents have, for calls that can have a lot of kids to try this drink, we think it is of particular importance to inform all the operators correctly and to withdraw from certain areas, or at least not trafficked under the age of 18 years.
Thank you very much and we hope in the sensitivity as well as for direct response to you.
After price.
