A family sued Panera after a college student died after drinking their 'Charged Lemonade.' But warnings about the drink have been online for months.
after a 21-year-old died shortly after drinking the restaurant’s “Charged Lemonade Drink.” Increased public scrutiny has led Panera to update the drink’s warnings, prominently displaying that the drink is not for people with caffeine sensitivities.
The drink has 390mg of caffeine, which is close to the amount of caffeine in 3 Red Bulls, but Panera’s language on their website and the in-store stickers on the container compared it to the same caffeine as a cup of their Dark Roast Coffee. According to the Panera website, a Dark Roast Coffee can range from 161 mg to 268 mg depending on size but has no added sugar.
“Panera’s warning to drink caffeine in ‘moderation’ is an impossibility to follow given the potency of the drink, the size of the drinks they sell, and the fact they are part of the Unlimited Sip Club,” Crawford says. “The Katz family is pleased to hear that the FDA is investigating the situation and believes that they will determine that this super energy drink is dangerous for consumption and begin to regulate energy drinks in the United States for the first time in order to save lives.
