Panera's "Charged Lemonade" Faces Lawsuits and Controversy Over Caffeine Content

Another family has filed a lawsuit against Panera Bread, alleging that the company's Charged Lemonade beverage caused their loved one to go into cardiac arrest and ultimately die. The lawsuit claims that the drink, which contained a significant amount of caffeine, was not advertised as an energy drink and was displayed alongside other caffeinated drinks. Panera Bread denies any responsibility and stands by the safety of their products. This comes after a previous wrongful death lawsuit was filed by the family of a college student who also died after consuming the same lemonade.
