Panera Bread's Caffeinated Lemonade Linked to Second Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Panera Bread is facing a second wrongful death lawsuit after a Florida family claimed that the restaurant's caffeinated lemonade caused a man to go into cardiac arrest. The lawsuit alleges that Panera advertised the "charged lemonades" as a traditional lemonade with a reasonable amount of caffeine, without any warnings to consumers. Panera had previously issued warnings and added signage after a similar lawsuit alleged a woman died from drinking the same beverage. The large-size charged lemonade was originally listed as containing 390 milligrams of caffeine, just 10 milligrams shy of the recommended daily maximum adult consumption amount. Panera is now updating its menu materials and information. The FDA stated that it takes reports of illnesses or injury from regulated products seriously but generally does not comment on ongoing litigation.

Investigation Urged for Logan Paul's Controversial Energy Drink and UFC Sponsor

Senator Chuck Schumer has called for an investigation by the FDA into Prime Energy, an energy drink created by YouTube influencers Logan Paul and KSI, due to its high caffeine content. The drink, which has levels equivalent to six cans of Coca-Cola, is facing backlash from physicians and lawmakers who argue that it can be harmful to children. Pediatricians recommend that children under 12 avoid caffeine entirely, and those aged 12 to 18 consume no more than 100 milligrams per day. Prime Energy's advertising campaign appears to target those under 18, leading to concerns about its impact on young consumers.

US Senator Demands Investigation into Prime Energy Drink Marketed to Kids

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for an investigation into Prime Energy, an energy drink promoted by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, alleging that it is being targeted at children despite its high caffeine content.

FDA Urged to Investigate Logan Paul's PRIME Drink for High Caffeine Levels

Senator Charles Schumer has called on the FDA to investigate PRIME energy drinks due to their high caffeine levels and unclear marketing targeting young people. PRIME, backed by popular YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI, has become hugely popular among children and teens. Each 12 oz. bottle contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, equivalent to about half a dozen Coke cans or nearly two Red Bulls. Schumer argues that the marketing and branding of the drinks are not distinguished enough, leading parents to unknowingly buy highly caffeinated drinks for their children. The company claims to clearly advertise the drink as for consumers 18 years and older.
