    Let’s not use the term arbitrary arbitrarily. It just makes people stupid.

      Feel free to elaborate.

      Girl dies from drinking caffeine presumably millions of people drink every year.

      /u/Orionza I hope this lawsuit forces them to remove this.

      Per Google definition

      adjective based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.

      Seems arbitrary to me. If we just start removing items because someone unalive themselves with it… where does that line get drawn? The regular 20-ounce serving has 260 milligrams. The can of energy drink in front of me is 200mg @ 12 oz. So per fluid ounce, it’s not that high.
      If I get in a car accident and die… are we going to call for the removal of cars? Just the model that killed me? How is this the companies/products fault?
