WATER VALLEY, Miss. (WCBI) – Water Valley leaders follow Yalobusha County’s lead to restrict the sale of caffeine power and pill products.

The ordinance prohibits the sale to anyone under the age of 18.

Specifically, pills with more than 25 percent caffeine are being targeted.

Students also cannot have them on school property.

Another section of the ordinance requires employees at businesses to sign an agreement acknowledging it is illegal to sell the caffeine products to minors.

This ordinance is in response to the accidental caffeine pill overdose death of Noah Smith from Yalobusha County.
