Sarah Katz, a 21-year-old Penn student, died in September 2022 after consuming the highly caffeinated beverage.
A University of Pennsylvania student’s death last year was caused in part by drinking a highly caffeinated beverage from a Panera Bread location in West Philadelphia, a newly filed lawsuit alleges.
Katz consumed the Charged Lemonade from the company’s West Philadelphia location on Sept. 10 last year, the lawsuit says. She suffered a cardiac arrest an unspecified amount of time later, and was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. She was pronounced dead at the hospital following a second cardiac arrest.
Additionally, the lawsuit says, Panera misrepresented the drink as “plant-based and clean with as much caffeine as our Dark Roast Coffee.” Panera Dark Roast Coffee, the suit says, ranges from 161 milligrams of caffeine in 12 ounces to 268 milligrams in 20 ounces.
