HYDERABAD: It is proven that energy drinks cause various diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes and insomnia. It is admirable that the Punjab Food Authority has decided to initiate action against drink manufacturers with misleading labels. In countries like Pakistan, where consumers are unaware of their rights and are easily deceived due to the false information given, discarding such drinks off the market will serve the purpose. Further, product manufacturers in other categories too like cosmetics should face similar action for providing misleading information to consumers as it is a violation of consumer rights.
