In the wake of a Florida man’s death linked to Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade, a second wrongful-death lawsuit has been filed against the company. Dennis Brown, 46, suffered a cardiac event and died in October after consuming the beverage. The lawsuit alleges that Panera knew or should have known about potential health risks associated with the drink’s high caffeine content. This marks the second lawsuit connecting Charged Lemonade to a death, following a similar case involving a college student, Sarah Katz, in September 2022. Panera contends the lawsuits lack merit, emphasizing their commitment to product safety. The beverage contains more caffeine in its large size than a 12-ounce Red Bull and a 16-ounce Monster Energy Drink combined. Panera had previously enhanced caffeine disclosures following the initial lawsuit. Critics argue the drink poses risks, especially to individuals with heart conditions. Panera maintains its product safety and expresses sympathy for Mr. Brown’s family. The lawsuits raise concerns about potential health hazards associated with highly caffeinated beverages and the need for clearer warnings.
