They were pulled from the shelves after complaint about the name "Cocaine". I also hear that many of the energy drink company's are have trouble with teens buying to much and getting sick. (I also think a few have died but I'm not 100% sure.)

They were pulled off the shelves so the name could be changed. The FDA was considering legal action to prevent the use of the name and stop the use of their slogan as it implied that the energy drink was related to the illicit drug cocaine. The product will be renamed, re-marketed, and then re-released .

They were pulled off the shelves because the of the name. Supposedly they are going to rename it and re-release it.

They ran in to some issues with the FDA due to their name and advertising slogan, along with claims of nutritional value placed on their cans. None of the claims had been verified through the FDA, and coupled with their name and slogan (which was something about being related to the illegal substance with the same namesake), was deemed an illegal substance by the FDA.
Ironic, but that's the law for you.
