The Uganda National Bureau of Standards is investigating how Natural Power SX Energy Drink ended up at one of the supermarkets in Kampala, following a complaint from a consumer who developed an erection that lasted up to six hours after consuming the drink.
Godwin Muhwezi, the UNBS principal public relations officer says that they are investigating circumstances under which the energy drink penetrated the market and who supplies it.
The drink is manufactured in Zambia by Zevin Zambia Limited, imported into the county by Kayson U Limited and the Pharmaceutical Society of Zambia has warned people against consuming the energy drink.
An official from Kayson who preferred anonymity says that they had not received any complaints from the consumers.
An article published in the Lusaka Times notes that the product had been cleared by UNBS in August 2018 and is safe to drink. According to the article, the energy drink has a certificate of conformity for the standard body, but UNBS says that they have never cleared the product, blaming it on loopholes in the system.
