States Sue 5-Hour Energy over Advertising

The 10-year-old company said in a statement that it would fight the suit.

“When companies are being bullied by someone in a position of power, these companies roll over, pay the ransom, and move on,” 5-Hour Energy spokeswoman Melissa Skabich said in a statement. “We’re not doing that.”
