However, the information available on the internet at the time of the inquest contained no information at all as to the dangers of consuming quantities of the mints_ At the inquest, the evidence from the pathologist showed that Mr. Jackson had in his blood at the time of death; more than twice the level of caffeine that can produce fatality and around 50 times the level that would be found normally in someone drinking tea and coffee There was at the time little information available as to the level of caffeine in this product and the dangers of consuming large amounts of caffeine, b) The product seems to me to sit uncomfortably in gap between medication and sweets, hence any person treating the product simply as sweets maybe in danger: acknowledge of course, that part of the answer is public awareness and trust that the publicity that was given to this case may assist in that regard.
