The lawsuits claimed that large, 30-ounce versions of the beverages had up to 390mg of caffeine.
" THIRD LAWSUIT AGAINST PANERA CLAIMS CAFFEINATED ‘CHARGED LEMONADE’ CAUSED ‘PERMANENT CARDIAC INJURIES’ "Our enhanced beverage portfolio, including new Blueberry Lavender Lemonade, Pomegranate Hibiscus Tea, Citrus Punch and a Tropical Green Smoothie will reinforce our mission of delivering what our guests most want – amazing taste, quality ingredients and value," Panera's statement continued.
