The FDA reports are being used by parents who sued Monster claiming the drinks led to caffeine toxicity that killed their 14-year-old daughter

Monster Beverage Corp. (MNST)’s energy drinks have been cited in the deaths of five people in the past year, according to incident reports that doctors and companies submit to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Monster shares tumbled by as much as 10 percent.
