Panera Bread News

Panera Bread announced on Tuesday its decision to discontinue its Charged Lemonade, a beverage linked to controversy and legal battles following reports of fatalities allegedly associated with its consumption, reported CNBC.

The move comes in response to a wave of lawsuits implicating the highly caffeinated drink in the deaths of two individuals, along with claims of serious health complications by others.

A third lawsuit, filed in January by Lauren Skerritt of Rhode Island, alleged enduring cardiac injuries as a result of consuming Charged Lemonade. Responding to concerns, Panera revised its nutritional information to clarify the caffeine content in Charged Lemonade, acknowledging that a large serving with ice contains 302 milligrams of caffeine.

Victoria Rose Conroy, a friend of Sarah Katz, expressed disbelief to NBC News in October over the beverage's caffeine content, emphasizing Katz's "vigilance" in safeguarding her health.
