A loyal Panera customer, he started regularly ordering “charged lemonade” in late September, according to the suit.
The complaint resembles another wrongful death suit filed earlier this year by the parents of Sarah Katz, a 21-year-old woman who died in September 2022 after drinking Panera’s charged lemonade.
“Panera Charged Lemonade is a juice beverage marketed to children and adults alike,” the suit claims.
Katz, who died last year, may have believed the caffeinated drink was regular lemonade, her parents alleged in the suit they filed against Panera.
Now, a 30-ounce charged Panera drink has no more than 237 milligrams of caffeine, according to Panera’s site.
