Sarah Katz, 21, had a heart condition and died hours after she drank Panera’s Charged Lemonade, a large cup of which contains more caffeine than Red Bull and Monster energy drinks combined.

All Panera Bread restaurants are now displaying "enhanced" disclosures about the restaurant chain’s highly caffeinated lemonade, a spokesperson said Saturday, following a lawsuit that was filed by the family of a young woman who died after drinking the beverage.

Monday's lawsuit, which was first obtained by NBC News, alleges that Sarah Katz, an Ivy League student with a heart condition, died after she drank Panera’s Charged Lemonade last year.

A large Charged Lemonade contains 390 milligrams — nearly the 400-milligram daily maximum of caffeine that the Food and Drug Administration says healthy adults can safely consume.

It’s very unfortunate what happened to this girl. I don’t understand though how having a serious heart condition, she didn’t read the sign that said “as much caffeine as coffee” or “guarana and green coffee”. I have a few food related conditions and I read or research absolutely everything I consume at a restaurant.

If it was clearly labeled she would have been able to make that choice and there wouldn't have been a court decision that it wasn't labeled well enough.

It was clearly labeled with the phrases I listed and the amounts of caffeine.

So, that is a ton of caffeine, but if you have a heart condition you really should be more careful about that shit.

I get what you're saying, but, for me, it would never even cross my mind that lemonade would ever have caffeine in it to start, let alone an insane amount like Panera has.

It's called Charged Lemonade; that wouldn't give you any pause?

That provides no indication that there's drugs in the lemonade lol

So what do you do with your cell phone at night...

What do you call that thing when you plug it in to the device that's plugged into the wall and then plugs into the phone what do you call that. And then when that process is done you would say that your phone is fully what...

Also if you don't know something and you see something new, you do know that you can just ask about it. "This is called charged lemonade what's in it?"

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

Yeah man, it's electrically charged lemonade. Good take.

I'm shocked it took this long. The caffeine content in that shit is MIND BLOWING. When you buy a energy drink you know what you are signing up for. But a lemonade with 260 to 390mg of caffeine??? That's pushing the limit of a ~~healthy~~ safe daily dose for an average adult

Ain't Nothin healthy about that lol
