Four Loko Sued for Death of 15-year-old Virginia Teen
    #14502137 - 05/23/11 11:53 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Chicago, IL — The maker of a controversial alcoholic drink, Four Loko, has been sued for the death of a Centreville teen, who was hit and killed by an SUV after he sat down in the middle of a dark road. The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 in Chicago, reported the Washington Post.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed by the parents of 15-year-old Bo Rupp, the victim and his friends bought Four Loko at a Manassas gas station, while on their way to a Sept. 25 concert at Jiffy Lube Live. While at the concert, Rupp was thrown out for being intoxicated.

He reportedly drank two cans of Four Loko.

Rupp began to act paranoid and disoriented on his way home, before jumping out of the car in Centreville and ran away from his mother. Rupp was reportedly sitting on Pleasant Valley Road, when a SUV hit Rupp. A day later, he was pronounced dead.

The lawsuit asserts that one can of Four Loko has the same amount of alcohol as five to six cans of beer.

Phusion Projects of Chicago, which makes Four Loko, asserted that the drink is only intended for people 21 and older. The drink has since been reformulated to remove caffeine and other controversial ingredients.

Kid gets a hold of alcohol, kid drinks alcohol, kid gets hit by a car on alcohol.

While yes, somebody did produce that alcohol, they were not involved in the giving, drinking, or car-to-faceing. This shouldn't even be a case. I know that if I was the judge I would not allow Four Loko to lose. It simply wasn't their fault.

What shame, died looking like a bitch.

(four loko is the preferred drink of choice on college campus or by high school females who think "beer tastes icky.")

While it is true that Four Loko doesn't taste bad, I found that one was my sweet spot to get drunk and have fun without blacking out, puking, or doing anything crazy. It made drinking actually fun. Also, the caffeine made me sick past one can.

The taste wasn't bad, but I'll be damned if it didn't get me fucked up.

soooo, how is this lawsuit justified? It's alcohol. You drink it, with the intention of getting drunk. There was no false pretense here. The kid willingly decided to get drunk, and while drunk did something stupid. It's Darwins law people. If the parents suied the store that sold a 15 year old alcohol, then i'd be able to understand but the manufacturer? By that logic, we should all sue smith and wessen for contributing to the deaths of thousands every year.

only in america......

They should be suing the store that sold the kid and his friends the drinks.  I can Semi sorta see letting one kid get away with it with maybe one can.  If his friends were his same age...they couldnt have all bought it....how many kids honestly look older than 15 and actually hang out.  Is this some kind of new hischool clique!? Lol.  I cant see this kid buying more cans than for his own consumption and not throwing out red flags.  Someone either didnt card him, had a fake id, or someone older bought it.  If it was the latter the person who did that should be charged.

I guess suing a cpmpany is easier than an individual.....thats most likely one of his friends.

so because a mother cant handle her drunk 15 year old she deserves a bunch of money? maybe with some better parenting this would have never happened. four loko should counter sue for defamation.

well A) she was under age,
B) the gas station sold it to her

C) where the fuck was her parents?

D) there are plenty of other beers,liquiors  that taste "good" such as St Ides-has all kinda flavors-Alizé-tasty real fruit beverages that range from 40proof - 80 proff-

e) Was the mom out whoring around or what, she should be held responsible for giving her the money. And sending her to the concert

Something doesn't add up I bet the kids probably stole the drink from the store which is probably why four loko getting sued.. Might be wrong but from the kids stupidity might not be wrong and moms looking for someone to pay

Meanwhile, alcohol is still totallyyy chilllll.

Just not in the brightly colored douchey can :nonono:

Maybe being spawned and raised by somebody who would name their child Bo Rupp had something to do with it.

Well this gives me a good money making idea, adopt a teenage kid, wait until they are drunk, hit them with a car and then sue the alchohol company because it is their faults from now on .
