A single 5-hour Energy shot contains a lethal dose of caffeine.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a single 5-hour Energy shot contains a lethal dose of caffeine?

Unclear. The retrieved sources give the human lethal caffeine dose as roughly 5-10 grams, equivalent to dozens of cups of coffee or 150-200 energy drink cans, but none states the caffeine content of a single 5-hour Energy shot, so the specific claim is not directly settled.
