An 18-year-old high school student suffered cardiac arrest after drinking a caffeine-laden lemonade from Panera Bread, according to a lawsuit filed weeks after the nationwide chain said it was phasing out the controversial beverage.
Filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the suit follows at least three other complaints lodged against Panera over the highly caffeinated, sugary drinks dubbed Charged Sips. The previous suits alleged the beverage caused two deaths and long-term heart problems for another customer in Rhode Island.
