This is THE SECOND person who died from drinking this.

                And? Maybe those people shouldn’t drink stuff with tons of caffeine in it. Do you also want to restrict sales of energy shots at grocery stores?

                  I don’t want to “restrict” them, like some kind of law or something.

                  I’m just pointing out that they could, as a business, stop people from killing themselves with their product. “Buyer beware” just externalizes the burden of safety onto customers, and will absolutely result in more deaths. They could stop this from happening.

                    My understanding from other comments ITT is that the company posted warnings after the first incident. If they continued despite that, that’s on the customer. Preventing people from buying something that could hurt them (but most likely won’t) is silly. Just label things in such a way that people should understand the risks, and then call it good (and perhaps have cashiers mention it as well if they order multiple).
