Lawsuit Filed Against Panera Bread After College Student Dies from 'Charged Lemonade'
The family of a University of Pennsylvania student who died after drinking Panera Bread's "Charged Lemonade" is suing the chain, claiming that the highly caffeinated drink contributed to her death. The student had a pre-existing heart condition and had managed it by avoiding heavily caffeinated drinks. However, the lawsuit alleges that Panera's labeling did not properly indicate the high caffeine content of the lemonade. The suit accuses Panera of negligent and fraudulent conduct.
