“CirTran and our lawyers have won every court and out-of-court battle over the past six months ... all involving our Playboy Energy Drink,” said Iehab J. Hawatmeh, CirTran’s founder, chairman and president. “Now, as we continue to resolve other disputes regarding distribution of Playboy Energy Drink in litigation we brought late last year against Playboy, CirTran is also working to normalize business operations by focusing on expanding distribution and sales of Playboy Energy Drink line in the U.S. and more than 20 countries around the world.”
