SEATTLE, Jul 15, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Attorney Advertising. Keller Rohrback L.L.P. (www.krclassaction.com) announces that it is investigating the possible contamination and/or mislabeling of certain protein drinks and powders manufactured by Abbott Laboratories /quotes/comstock/13*!abt/quotes/nls/abt (ABT 48.98, -0.24, -0.49%) and CytoSport. Recent testing indicates that consumers drinking the following beverages may be exposed to elevated levels of the heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, and/or lead:

  --  EAS Myoplex Original Rich Dark Chocolate Shake;
