Lawsuit says Sarah Katz, 21, had heart condition and was not aware of stimulant content of cafe chain’s powerfully caffeinated soda
The family of a 21-year-old Ivy League student who died after consuming Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade – a powerfully caffeinated soda – is suing the food chain, claiming that it failed to appropriately warn customers about what they claim is a “dangerous energy drink”.
According to a complaint filed on Monday in the Philadelphia court of common pleas, Sarah Katz had a heart condition and was not aware of the drink’s stimulant content. The complaint said the drink’s stimulant content exceeds that of cans of Red Bull and Monster energy drinks combined.
