Ever needed caffeine so badly that you could pretty much inhale your morning cup of coffee? That's no longer just a figure of speech.
AeroShot Pure Energy is designed to deliver caffeine and a mix of B vitamins into the consumers mouth, according to the product's website. It's a caffeine inhaler -- pretty much -- for people who want the pick-me-up without having to drink a cup of joe.
Although the product allegedly complies with FDA dietary supplement guideline, some lawmakers are still skeptical of its safety.
Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) says he wants the FDA involved.
"They should check it out, see if it has negative consequences, and don't let it go on the shelves until it is thoroughly checked out," he said.
On its website, the company argues that it's safe, as long as it's used as intended.
"AeroShot Pure Energy contains the same amount of caffeine as a cup of premium coffee and has less caffeine than the leading energy shot," says Tom Hadfield, CEO of the company that developed the product. “AeroShot is not intended for use by children, and it is not marketed to children."
