Logan Paul, the co-founder of Prime Hydration drinks, is taking legal action against boxer Ryan Garcia for allegedly spreading misinformation about the popular beverage. Paul announced on Thursday that his company has filed a defamation and libel lawsuit against Garcia in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
In a statement accompanying the lawsuit, Paul defended Prime against what he called a “smear campaign” and criticized those who have attacked the brand. He pointed out that Prime has become a major player in the hydration drink market, surpassing Gatorade in sales at Walmart stores.
The lawsuit alleges that Garcia, a professional boxer known for stirring up controversy, has been spreading lies about Prime and its owners. Garcia has publicly criticized Prime, calling it “nasty” and even suggesting that he tested positive for a banned substance after drinking the beverage.
While the terms of the lawsuit were not disclosed, it is likely that Prime is seeking damages for the defamation claims made by Garcia. Paul made it clear that he is determined to hold accountable those who have damaged the brand’s reputation and will continue to innovate in the world of hydration.
As the court battle between Logan Paul and Ryan Garcia unfolds, the future of Prime Hydration drinks hangs in the balance. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
