Second Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed Against Panera Over Caffeinated 'Charged Lemonade'

The lawsuit alleges that the drink led to the death of a Florida man, marking the second such case in recent months.

Panera Bread is facing a second wrongful death lawsuit over its caffeinated 'Charged Lemonade' drink. The lawsuit alleges that 46-year-old Dennis Brown died after consuming three servings of the drink.
The lawsuit claims that Panera 'knew or should have known' that the drink could pose risks, particularly to individuals with certain health conditions and sensitivities to caffeine.
The 'Charged Lemonade' contains more caffeine in its large size than a 12-ounce Red Bull and a 16-ounce Monster Energy drink combined.
This is the second lawsuit filed against Panera over the drink. The first was filed in October by the family of a 21-year-old woman who died after consuming the drink.
Panera has defended the safety of its products and believes that the deaths were not caused by their product.
