Consumers brought a class action alleging that the highly caffeinated Prime Energy had been designed and marketed too similarly to caffeine-free Prime Hydration, potentially misleading underage consumers. Paul and KSI were initially named before being voluntarily removed as parties. In 2026, the court nevertheless ordered searches of their communications as relevant co-creators, co-owners and promoters.
