Red Bull has been subject to bans in France, Denmark and Norway. The ban has been lifted in Norway and Denmark.[26] The French ban was challenged by the European Commission and (partially) upheld by the European Court of Justice in 2004.

Attempts to ban
The popular energy drink Red Bull was banned in France after the death of eighteen-year-old Irish athlete Ross Cooney, who died as a result of playing a basketball game after consuming four cans of the drink. This ban was challenged in the European Court of Justice in 2004.[19] The French Scientific Committee (J.D. Birkel) concluded that Red Bull has excessive amounts of caffeine.[19] Denmark also banned Red Bull for a while, although the ban has recently been revoked. Britain investigated the drink, but only issued a warning against its use by pregnant women and children.[19]
In 2009 a school in Hove, England requested that local shops do not sell energy drinks to pupils. Headteacher Malvina Sanders added that "This was a preventative measure, as all research shows that consuming high-energy drinks can have a detrimental impact on the ability of young people to concentrate in class." The school has negotiated for their local branch of Tesco to display posters asking pupils not to ask for the products.[20]

btw, those that thought it did:
Taurine, or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is an organic acid. It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the lower intestine and, in small amounts, in the tissues of many animals, including humans.
