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.
I mean, nuts also aren’t dangerous to healthy people if you count healthy people as those without nut allergies…
The logic doesn’t hold up vs how society is supposed to work.
And someone with a nut allergy will check ingredients before consuming food outside of the home, right?
Both of the deceased had health issues, not allergies. Both should have been taking it easy on sugary drinks, and caffeinated beverages. Both had consumed this same lemonade multiple times before.
I still can’t fault panera bread. Someone posted a link to a lawer explaining this case, and they also said that Panera has no liabily here.
