On Sept. 10, 2022, Katz purchased a charged lemonade from a Panera Bread in Philadelphia, according to the suit.
It's an energy drink that has lemon flavor," said Elizabeth Crawford, a partner at Philadelphia-based law firm Kline & Specter, PC.
The lawsuit alleges the charged lemonade is "defective in design because it is a dangerous energy drink."
Conroy said Katz had bought at least one other charged lemonade in the days prior to her cardiac arrest.
Katz's parents, who declined to speak about the lawsuit, are desperate for people to understand exactly what is in Panera's charged lemonade before they buy it, Crawford said.
