Panera Bread’s highly caffeinated Charged Lemonade is now blamed for a second death, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

Dennis Brown, of Fleming Island, Florida, drank three Charged Lemonades from a local Panera on Oct. 9 and then suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on his way home, the suit says.

Brown, 46, had an unspecified chromosomal deficiency disorder, a developmental delay and a mild intellectual disability. He lived independently, frequently stopping at Panera after his shifts at a supermarket, the legal complaint says. Because he had high blood pressure, he did not consume energy drinks, it adds.

    Charged lemonade has insane levels of caffeine

    Quit your bullshit. Your lying by omission because you have some agenda to push. You report like Fox News does.

    The amount of caffeine per fluid ounce, is on par with coffee. Same goes for red bull, be it on the higher side, but still. A redbull is a 12oz. drink, you can’t blindly compare that to a 30oz drink and pretend they’re the same. I can walk into Starbucks right now, get a 20oz drink that has 475mg of caffeine it’s just a venti Featured Blonde Roast… which per ounce, is twice the caffeine than RedBull.

    There’s plenty of signs and verbiage, both in store and online, this stuff has caffeine.

      Surely you realize it’s easier to down lemonade than coffee?

      It’s like cannabis potency in edibles. When the drug is presented in an easy to consume form, people consume way more of it.

      Basically the lemonade tastes too good lol
