Cocaine brand energy drink (produced by Redux Beverages of Las Vegas) has been voluntarily removed from the store shelves in New York and many other markets because of the protests by concerned consumers.

In addition, in an AP news article on BevNet.com:

"The Food and Drug Administration said Redux Beverages LLC is illegally marketing the drink as both a street drug alternative and a dietary supplement, according to a warning letter dated April 4 but publicly released Wednesday. The FDA cites as evidence the drink's own labeling and Web site, which include the statements "Speed in a Can," "Liquid Cocaine" and "Cocaine ― Instant Rush," according to the letter."

Also from the same article to answer your question:

"... Cocaine is an energy drink produced by a Las Vegas company. It contains no actual cocaine, but is being marketed as "The Legal Alternative" to the illegal drug, according to its Web site. Its logo appears to be spelled out in a white powder that resembles the drug."

You may contact Redux if you're really interested in getting a sample:

It doesn't really contain cocaine, of course.

I read one artical that two to three servings is enough to cause a heart attack.

No, it doesn't have cocaine in it....if that's what ur wondering.
