Does the Packaging of AEDs Make it Difficult to Distinguish them from Nonalcoholic Energy Drinks?

Most AEDs are packaged in containers that are similar to those used for nonalcoholic energy drinks, with similar energy graphics (e.g., lightning bolts), brand names, and colors. Distinguishing them requires careful inspection to find the alcohol label. Anecdotal reports suggest that many parents, teachers, law enforcement personnel, and retail clerks cannot distinguish the two types of products and may not even be aware that AEDs exist.
