Sarah Katz, 21, had a heart condition and was not aware of the drink’s caffeine content.
21-year-old Sarah Katz had a rare heart condition, leading her to avoid energy drinks on the recommendation of her doctors. A 21-year-old Ivy League student with a heart condition died after drinking Panera Bread’s “charged lemonade,” according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
“She was very, very vigilant about what she needed to do to keep herself safe,” roommate and close friend, Victoria Rose Conroy said,. “I guarantee if Sarah had known how much caffeine this was, she never would have touched it with a 10-foot pole.” But at 390 milligrams, the large charged lemonade has more caffeine than any size of Panera’s dark roast coffee, the complaint says — numbers that the nutrition facts onconfirm. The charged lemonade also has guarana extract, another stimulant, as well as the equivalent of nearly 30 teaspoons of sugar, the complaint continues.
