The family of a 40-year old man who died of a massive caffeine overdose after eating Hero mints has demanded their withdrawal from the market.

Hero mints come in a tin of 12 mints, with each mint containing around 80 mg of caffeine, same as a 250 ml energy drink such as Red Bull.
Jackson’s step daughter Rebecca Court, 23, said that something should be done if such deaths are to be avoided in future. “On the box they said one tablet equals one can of energy drinks. A kid could go in and buy them and the same thing could happen to him. Dad loved eating mints. He ate all sorts of different brands and probably didn’t realize these mints had high amounts of caffeine in them. Something should be done about them. They are very, very dangerous”, she said.
