Uhhh ... OK. The state's application of some "obscure" law may be a bit below the belt.

Kirby said Redux has removed from its Web site information objected to by the FDA and making medical claims such as ingredients that help reduce cholesterol. Redux and the FDA will meet soon to discuss the federal agency's warning letter, he said.

The drink is named Cocaine to reach young people in an anti-drug effort, Kirby said.

Who do they think they are kidding? The stuff was clearly and provocatively marketed, not only by the coice of name, but also by statements (now apparently removed) on the company's website.
