kevin goldberg. we wanted to tell you monster's ceo or a representative from monster was invited to come on today but the company said it did not want to comment publicly on pending litigation. they did give us a statement saying quote, there is no evidence that a monster energy drink has caused or contributed to any injury whatsoever, repeating the same bad argument multiple times does not make the argument any more credible. these lawsuits are just another effort by attorney goldberg to extract settlement money. monster energy proudly stands by the safety of its products, end quote. mr. goldberg, welcome to "power lunch." how do you respond? >> well, these energy drink lawsuits aren't about extracting settlement money and they're not about kevin goldberg. these lawsuits are about a dead 14-year-old girl, a dead 19-year-old man, and a dead 21-year-old woman. >> you filed a freedom of information act and you got some of the data from the fda's center for food safety and applied nutritions adverse eve
