Dunkin' Launches SPARKD' Energy Drinks Amid Energy Drink Controversies

The new caffeinated beverages come in two flavors, offering a less potent caffeine kick compared to Panera's Charged Lemonade, which has been linked to lawsuits over health concerns.

• Dunkin' introduces SPARKD' Energy drinks in berry burst and peach flavors, featuring vitamins, minerals, and caffeine.
• The launch follows controversies surrounding Panera Bread's Charged Lemonade, implicated in lawsuits alleging health issues, including deaths.
• A large SPARKD' drink contains 192 milligrams of caffeine, about half the amount found in Panera's Charged Lemonade.
• Despite the ongoing legal battles faced by Panera, Dunkin' has not included any warnings about caffeine content on its SPARKD' drinks.
• Panera has since moved its Charged Lemonade behind the counter and added warnings, while facing multiple lawsuits.
