Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade blamed for a second death, lawsuit alleges - eviltoast

Panera Bread’s highly caffeinated Charged Lemonade is now blamed for a second death, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

Dennis Brown, of Fleming Island, Florida, drank three Charged Lemonades from a local Panera on Oct. 9 and then suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on his way home, the suit says.

Brown, 46, had an unspecified chromosomal deficiency disorder, a developmental delay and a mild intellectual disability. He lived independently, frequently stopping at Panera after his shifts at a supermarket, the legal complaint says. Because he had high blood pressure, he did not consume energy drinks, it adds.

    While he has a developmental delay and intellectual disability, I wouldn’t blame anyone for assuming lemonade has much less caffeine than an energy drink.

      Yeah that’s true, it really should be on Panera to make it clear to the average person that it’s not your regular kind of lemonade.
