The family of a University of Pennsylvania student has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Panera Bread after their daughter suffered a cardiac arrest last year.
The lawsuit alleges Sarah Katz, 21, drank a 30 fluid ounce ‘Charged Lemonade’ drink from the without knowing the caffeine content. Katz was diagnosed with a heart disorder called Long QT Type 1 Syndrome at age five and has always been vigilant about her health and cardiology appointments since, according to the family’s lawyer.
Crawford said Panera Bread had a duty to warn its consumers that this particular drink was an energy drink that could be dangerous to certain people. Dr. Mike Cirigliano of the Perelman School of Medicine at University of Pennsylvania said people with an underlying condition have to be very careful about what they’re consuming and if the labeling is not correct, you could be putting yourself at potential risk.
