After drinking Panera Bread’s “charged lemonade,” an Ivy League student with a heart condition died. The drink comes in a large cup, containing more caffeine than cans of Red Bull and Monster energy drinks put together.
Now, the parents of 21-year-old Sarah Katz’s parents have filed a lawsuit against company, citing that the drink is dangerous. It added that Panera failed to effectively warn patrons about its ingredients.
Katz was a student at the University of Pennsylvania and had once taught CPR in low socio-economic communities.
She had a heart condition called long QT syndrome type 1. She had stayed away from energy drinks as recommended by her doctors.
Documents note that Katz had bought a charged lemonade from a Panera Bread in Philadelphia on September 10, 2022. Hours after that, she went into cardiac arrest.
Ok the girl knows she has heart problems and she still drank it why did she try the drink and doctors told her to not drink energy drinks.
