The toxin can cause botulism, a nerve-attacking illness that weakens muscles, leading to difficulty breathing and sometimes death. No illnesses have been reported, according to Death Wish's founder Mike Brown. "We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our customers and our retail partners, but we believe this is the right precautionary measure to take," said a statement from the company about the recall. Death Wish's regular coffee has 59 milligrams of caffeine per fluid ounce, or about 472 milligrams per cup. Up to 400 milligrams of caffeine a day is considered generally healthy for adult consumption. Stay safe out there.
