He deliberately didn't point to where the sign listed the amount of caffeine per serving size, huh?
It said so in the picture he showed and he still didnt mention that, all that writing is explaining not just how much but what thats the equivalent to. In addition - he also didnt mention that 390mg is for the largest drink size which is larger than a big gulp.
THREE TIMES the amount of caffeine of most other energy drinks. The drink itself is dangerous and should be banned (or only available in small, single-serving sizes), but having it at a self-service station where anyone, including children, can get as much of it as they want is idiotically negligent.
They should have no legal obligation to protect the consumer from coming over 1 serving of anything if the ingredients fall under a safe limit. The large cup is still in the FDA's limit.@@derkeheath5172
I just checked Panera's website and they list the ingredient as "Naturally flavored, plant-based, and Clean with about [b]as much caffeine as our Dark Roast Coffee. Caffeine, Coffee Extract[/b]" and also list the amount of caffeine - 245mg to 260mg depending on the lemonade. not sure if this was after the lawsuit.
Yes it was before the lawsuit, but after her death, so it wasn't available to her.
It’s been there since it released.
Before. As well in the emails when it came out. And on the label in store.
Nope we had it on there before it. People don’t read though
@@ladyayla121i knew without even checking. I had the idea of something like this happening when i saw them new.
I have a heart condition. I do drink coffee, but I don't drink anything that says charged or even energy drinks. If she didn't know exactly what was in it, maybe she should have asked. There is a thing called Personal responsibilities.
in legal speak it is referred to as contributory negligence..she "contributed" to her own condition
usually when you buy lemonade, caffeine is the last thing you think they’d put in it, i didn’t even know there was a caffeinated lemonade.
@@ianm8218 It has the word charged in the name also all of the ads said it had caffeine in it. If you have a condition you need to look into everything you put into your body.
💯!!! EXACTLY!!!!! OR USE YOUR PHONE TO O LOOK UP WAT YOU ARE CONSUMING.
You are also supposed to avoid sugary drinks with a heart condition
Panera will lose, because other companies like "jolt cola" gave a much more detailed warning and the exact amount of caffeine.
It might sound like a stupid lawsuit, but companies know they are required to warn the customer, especially when there is an extra danger that is invisible eg. coffee 15 degrees hotter than normal or more than double the caffeine of a coffee. A company this large with many lawyers should have known better. If a tiny business made a similar mistake I would feel bad for them.
💯%
Panera isn't going to lose lol
@@c_h_ They will. If Mickey D’s can lose, Panera is definitely toast.
It is also the responsibility of the person with the medical condition to ensure their own safety by finding out what's in a product before they consume it. The term "charged" should have been enough to warrant a "what does that mean."
@@penni6432 We can speculate and back and forth in a loop, but the result of the lawsuit will show whose opinion is legally correct.
I'm confused, it lists exactly how many mg of caffeine in the sign there.
Americas growing nightmare. Accountability for your own actions.
If you have ever been in Panera, you have to keep in mind that they place these “supercharged” drinks right next to regular fountain drinks. The amount of caffeine on these drinks while being in area that welcomes several refills is just extremely negligent. They are clearly banking on the addictive properties of caffeine and know that their “supercharged” drinks will attract folks who are just looking for a refreshing drink.
@@BrianTheLiberalDogThat’s what I said. Nobody can bring back their daughter, but they will be getting paid. We all see through this same tactic that was used by the cigarette companies. What’s worse is there is no social stigma to slow people down from using it.
@@BrianTheLiberalDogit’s her own fault she knew about her own preexisting condition but failed the labels beforehand
@@ScreamTatumRileyto my understanding she didn’t know bc it was promoted to HER as a regular drink. Otherwise she wouldn’t have drinken it
@@ScreamTatumRileyLemonade isn't known to be caffeinated,especially have 400mg. It's still the restaurant's fault
im sorry but it says charged..
As someone who works at Panera, it's clearly noted on the drink machine that it has caffeine. Heck even in the video you can clearly see how much caffeine is in the different sizes of drinks.
All you need is a splash of it and some water or sparkling water and you basically got 2 espresso shots.
they need it banned dude, most people see the writing in the drink that has bigger letter saying that it’s citrus lemonade and under it it’s written w small letters that it has a lot of caffeine is plain stupid. just because u work at this place doesn’t mean u have to stand up for them.
most people that go to restaurants don’t read! they are hungry and just wanna quickly fill up their cups and order food.
so ofc it’s panera’s fault for even having such dangerous caffeine engrossed drink
I work at Panera. Not even I was informed with just how much caffeine are in these lemonades. Nobody looks at 260 milligrams of caffeine and understands what that means. My bosses told me the regular drinks were around the same as a dark roast coffee and plant based. I thought that was good since coffee upsets my stomach and I could drink some before work only to have literal panic attacks because my heart was racing so much. I've had to warn so many people about this drink and every customer was surprised.
@gracelyngarrett804 how blind can you be? You literally make these drinks every 2 days. Even on the concentrate it says how much caffeine it contains.
@@jazplanetIt list the caffeine content right in front of the container on a label and its easy to read. Also, this is a charged lemonade. They have regular lemonade as well that has no caffeine in it. Why didn't she just get that one?
Also, she knows she has a heart condition, she should have paid attention to this. It's really sad.
@@Goyokuno I don't drink energy drinks. Never have in my life. Not until charged lemonades came to Panera. I thought 260 milligrams of caffeine was a normal range of caffeine. I saw the numbers but as someone who never drank energy drinks I thought I wouldn't have to look it up. I'm not blind I was just never properly informed which is the big issue in this case.
If she needs “bigger words, bigger warning” then it’s the failure of the parents to educate their daughter. What bigger words do you need after “CHARGED lemonade”. It’s in all caps on the sign!!!
She was 21
Wow dense..hope your kids neices nephews dont help themselves to this poison
Yea but what does charged even mean . Charged wit extra sugar ?? Charged wit extra lemon flavor
@@Charmander009 This is why, if you don't know, you ask.
She could've just thought it was a brand name for their lemonade. Like Thunder Cola, Blizzard High C, Charged Lemonade.... ect.
She did not a avoid caffeine if she’s buying “charged” lemonade. Worse she’s drinking a quart of what is typically a sugary drink. It’s crazy restaurants and cafés need to break everything into atoms and molecules. It should say caffeinated since lemonade is typically not caffeinated. That all.
"charged" is undefined and not a regular term used with highly caffeinated beverages - "charged" could mean anything, like referring to the flavor.
@@hustlecrowe9440As an employee it says it on the menus and the exact amount on the dispenser at eye level. I really think the caffeine level is ridiculous but it’s not out of the way to find out
@@hustlecrowe9440it means energized its not that hard
@@dukz-gw1ggI thought at first glance it meant it had electrolytes. Charged is a nothing word in front of a beverage. Most probably assumed it had the same weight as Blitz in the name Arctic Blitz.
It says caffeinated...
If she had a heart problem it's absolutely silly to drink caffeine. I have hpb and I know I'm at higher risk.
"charged lemonade." hmm. that must be just like regular lemonade. I will for the time being ignore my heart condition which prevents me from consuming caffeine and drink this unknown "charged" substance. Online Panera's menu says that this drink has caffeine in it. However Panera has failed to notify me, in their drink named "charged lemonade," that there is caffeine.
Next they won't be warning me that the coffee is hot.
132 grams of sugar is not a regular lemonade, that’s just insane, should be illegal.
@@ianm8218It list the caffeine content right in front of the container on a label and its easy to read. Also, this is a charged lemonade. They have regular lemonade as well that has no caffeine in it. Why didn't she just get that one?
We're suing Panera because we were too stupid to monitor our daughter's fast food intake even though she was on a special diet.
Why don't you go drink 10 can of coke in one sitting since you think Americans should be consuming beverages like that.
@@soupnfresh I love Coke.
lol@@davemathews7890
I like coke too
❄️
We’re suing because they didn’t make clear the level of toxicity, so she would be fully informed. Also, did they learn she had a heart condition before or after she died? Oftentimes an athlete in peak condition doesn’t know until after they drop on the field.
Panera clearly labeled everything. Unfortunately she should have been more vigilant with her medical condition. They have the caffeine amount listed
It’s a small print lol
Nobody looks at small print omfg
Oh and they purposely put the warning in small print
@@rainsong1803oh well. That's her fault. It was labeled.
@@rainsong1803Well read the small print if you have heart problems
@@rainsong1803 true but you should read it, i read anything new im about to it, just in case it has something im allergic too.
it's unclear to me if the information about caffeine content was readily available when the girl drank her lemonade. What I know with reasonable certainty is that she had the drink and passed away on September 2022 and by December 2022 such information was available through their online menu. It's possible that Panera only disclosed the amount of caffeine after her death and the negative PR that followed.
The exact caffeine content is on the label on the machine she got it from herself, but yes also the website
@laurendettore6029 exactly. They keep bringing up that the website has the ingredients listed, but it's not necessary. As you said, it's listed on the machine. The bigger issue was her heart condition and minor oversight. I honestly belive she just didn't notice the machine. Very unfortunate. No matter the result, both are kind at fault.
Natural caffeine is still caffeine. If she wasn’t sure what was in the drink then she shouldn’t have consumed it. A person allergic to nuts isn’t going to consume food that might have nuts in it.
She wasn't allergic, it's literally lemonade... It shouldn't have that much caffeine if any at all
I used to drink this , it was delicious but almost gave me a panic attack.
Sue! 😂
It has the same amount of caffeine as a 20oz coffee. Not really a crazy amount of caffeine for allot of people.
@@kraykray9585 Wrong. There are roughly 64 mgs of caffeine per shot of espresso. Most of us have two or three shots per drink. At 390 mgs of caffeine, it’s more than six shots worth per drink. God help you if you get one or two refills not understanding how high that is compared to your regular caffeine consumption. Based on a most people’s experience, they probably won’t think a lemonade would have more caffeine than their coffee or most highly caffeinated soda at 140 mgs a can. I am sure the company must be banking on people thinking the lemonade is healthy and getting people addicted to their product.
Same with drinking Mountain Dew I started feeling hot and then my heart started racing so I decided to take my anxiety medication and it calm me down within 3 hours later. After that I stopped drinking Mountain Dew
@@Aaliyahjoy1969ur anxiety med is garbage
Even the reporter said that the label indicates it has caffine in it. They all list that.
Equivalent of being allergic to alcohol and buying a drink named Tipsy Punch and assuming it has no alcohol...
It is not a restaurants job to police people with medical issues. Especially medical issues an individual knows they have. It is the responsibility of the person with medical issues to find out what is in a product before they consume it. Just the word "charged" should have been enough to make one question what was in the drink. If Panera is held liable for this person's death, watch the domino effect as everyone with a medical condition will be suing food and drink vendors. It is sad that this 21-year-old died as a result of their medical condition. I have tachycardia and do my best to avoid anything with caffeine. Especially energy drinks. I would not even try a sip. It's not worth it.
It'll be great if Panera loses. Because then companies will have to be more clear with what's in their foods. They were not clear that this had 2x the normal average amount of caffeine. If you're serving food you do in fact have an obligation to warn people what's in it. And big companies getting frightened by this lawsuit will be a fantastic thing
I work at Panera so let me be the first to say you are absolutely wrong. I have drank the strawberry lemon mint almost every day for a YEAR. For free. I was lead to believe I was only drinking the equivalent to a cup of coffee and because I make the drinks I know what's on the bottles and there is absolutely no warning about the amount the caffeine in it. I only knew what I was told and it was advertised as. "As much caffeine as our dark roast coffee" come to find out AFTER the girl died, it has as much caffeine as TWO red bull energy drinks. That's how I KNOW you don't know what you're talking about.
I feel as if a restaurant should not be selling anything containing half the daily dosage needed to make the average person begin to overdose on a chemical (800mg in this case), but maybe that’s just me.
Panera bread doesn't show what's in its lemonade so them getting sued is valid
That's a ridiculous amount of caffeine regardless. They still deserve the lawsuit
It should contain 60 to 70 percent less sugar, and 50 percent less caffeine.
It’s sad but you have a heart condition and you see a drink saying charged on it and you still when and buy it like really come on now 😒
As someone who may or may not work there currently in very very small letters underneath the name is a disclaimer saying this serving size is calculated with ICE! So basically double the caffeine if your a light or no ice person
When American food products with cocaine changed they used caffeine as a substitute.
"Lemonade"...... why don't they say "Energy Drink", or "Heart Attack Drink"?
Because normal people don’t die from it. If you have a heart condition. You are not normal.
Society doesn’t have to bend backwards for you if you have celiac nor should it if you have a heart condition.
You just want to be a hater. They called it "Charged Lemonade".
Literally says “contains caffeine”. She drank it anyways.
it should be named caffeinated
The amount of victim blaming in this comment section is gross. I’ve seen the lemonade in the store and it is not labeled as well as everyone makes it out to be. It looks just like organic pressed juice or something. Someone should not have to die because of bad labeling on an outrageous amount of a caffeine in a normally non-caffeinated type of drink. I really wish people would would have more compassion.
It literally says charged 💀
Everybody wants to sue for stupidity now a days 🥱
Not surprised by this. Self serve drinks need more clear disclosure. I'm extremely sensitive to caffeine. If I drink about 20mg I start to get brain fog, begin to clench my fists as muscle contractions start, and sometimes go into a cold sweat. Drinking 390 mg would put me in a very bad place where I would literally curl up into a ball and wish I was dead. People not aware that companies are starting to put incredibly large doses of caffeine next to other standard drinks could end up in a bad place from an honest mistake. I'm usually against petty fast food lawsuits, but there may be some merit to this one. At my local Panera, they got rid of the prickly pear hibiscus drink (which was not caffeinated and lightly sweetened) in order to make space for these new charged drinks. It was the only one I could drink, and I enjoyed it a lot. Apart from lime sparkling water (which taste like crap from the fountain) everything else is completely jam packed with caffeine and/or sugar. Panera used to be healthier, but they have slowly been going the way of popularity. over the years.
how is it not a 21 year old's responsibility to monitor her own diet? red food coloring gives me an allergic reaction so I'm particularly careful to watch out for it.
390mg of caffeine is super super excessive a monster energy drink is 160mg so its like slamming 2.5 monsters in one go that really should be disclosed that's why monsters and other energy drinks say limit 1 can per day right on them
They refused to display proper ingredients.
The employees didn't know what the ingredients were and openly gave it to anyone 🤷♂️
You'd think something like a mcdonalds medium drink size giving you 2x the caffeine of a monster energy drink, would be listed as a caffinated beverage on the label, but it isnt
@@terransunitedno. They displayed the ingredients. Rewatch the video... The family wants them to do MORE than required by law.
Some business they have sign that read that their products may contain Peanuts. "Lemonade"........Why not label it as something else, like a "heart breaker"!
@@terransunitedthey had the proper ingredients. And they add guarana. As someone that’s done dieting and has done extensive research on caffeine, those are ingredients that are not meant for caffeine sensitive people. It’s on you and by the way your doctor to instruct you on what you should and should not eat.
In this video the guy points to the screen and reads what it says about the ingredients but all but dismisses that it indicates the caffeine content and then says, "Let me show you what's in it," yet right at the bottom on the signs in front of each flavored drink it clearly shows the caffeine content of each drink. You can even read it in this video on the screen that he's looking at. Those labels in front of each drink have been there since the start, and one of the flavors shown, Fuji Apple Cranberry, was replaced a few months ago so even in the old footage used in this report it clearly shows the caffeine amounts had been labeled.
That stuff is borderline poisonous
So this girl knew it was caffeinated and still drank it. But yeah, it’s Panera fault
How many refills did she get?!
I remember Food theorist (MatPat) making a video about Panera 8 months ago
I see quite a few people in the comments don't believe in personal responsibility.
Lemonade is not a poison. Panera, obviously, is not selling poison.
Person’s individual health restrictions and food choices are in personal responsibility category.
Caffeine is literally a normalized drug but go off.
Okay... Its called Charged Lemonade. At some point you have to take accountability for your own stupidity. Wouldn't the first normal question be oh its "charged," how about I find out why its called that.
Since when does charge mean caffeinated? Oh I know, since never. Go to college.
@@soupnfresh Special Ed class is calling the ingredients were display everywhere, and if you have a phone you can look up how much it has you 🤡
@@soupnfresh What does "CHARGED" in reference to a beverage indicate to you? To me it was painfully obvious that it means it is caffeinated.
@@hotjenjen1 Uh oh people. Jen doesn't own a dictionary.
@@hotjenjen1most people would assume electrolytes or vitamins. Not a daily dose of caffeine. Charged isn’t a word associated with caffeine. The correct word that should of been used is caffeinated
I just tried the blood orange one and didn’t really feel anything. Does that one have less caffeine? Did they cut down after this incident??
They lowered the amount of caffeine by a third per serving.
This is definitely controversial for sure. They clearly listed how much caffeine is in it on the label but at the same time who looks at that when they think lemonade?
People with dangerous allergies are expected to be hyper-resilient towards all foods they consume, constantly checking for such allergens, and if they _willingly consumed_ something with that allergen, nobody lines up to sue the restaurant for serving something exactly as it's depicted on the menu.
This lady had known, diagnosed heart problems and decided to play it fast and loose with caffeine, so it's the company's fault for her own lapse in judgement?
Who drinks a 32 ounce beverage?
if she was trying to avoid caffeine, she shouldn't have bought anything with "charged" in the title. she should've been smarter. 21 years old, you should know basic marketing lingo at that age. as sad as it is, it's not Panera's fault.

Bruh the fact that they didn’t give any info on the ingredients says a lot
Remember the old lady back in the 90's that sued McDonalds and won because her coffee was something like 194 degrees. I wouldn't be surprised if PaneraBread settles out of court to make this go away. Anyway they get free publicity now for the lemonade that somebody died drinking. People are probably running to PaneraBread right now to try "the drink that killed someone" out of morbid curiousity.
legal eagle made a video covering that case, and the lawsuit wasn’t as ridiculous as it first appears. The media covering the news left key details and downplayed the extent of her injuries. I recommend watching his video for more details on that case.
@@mapl3mage It looks like it happened again back in June of this year. Another woman aged 85 is saying she was burned by McDonalds coffee. She has a lawyer and is currently trying to sue McDonalds. I went to go rewatch the video on it and found that new one.
That woman was an old woman who literally had to get skin grafts because her privates got burned. You guys use that lawsuit as an example but don’t know the extent of her injuries
Those people are the reason I don't get coffee at McDonald's anymore. It's not hot enough.
The lady that sued McDonald's put a Cardboard cup of hot coffee on her lap In between her legs. While she drove away, her legs caved the cup in and spilled the coffee all over her legs. Come on, What do you think would happen when you put a cardboard cup of coffee in between your legs. It's her fault, but she got her money.
We all know what charged lemonade is and it has a huge sign on the container! This is a frivolous lawsuit. Right on the front is 390MG of caffeine. Ridiculous that they would sue!!!!! She filled her own cup at the dispenser and the sign was right there. At some point this is just idiotic and irresponsible. Our legal system is not for payouts when someone checks themselves out.
“we ALL know what charged lemonade is” ok panera office employee, is this what you get paid like 3x the amount a cashier does for? i am the only person i currently know that knows what a charged lemonade is because ive worked at a panera. no one else i have ever met has ever heard of a charged lemonade, let alone a lemonade that has more than a monster’s worth of caffeine

My condolences to the family that lost their daughter. At 21 you're pretty much responsible for your own actions And at that age. You should have enough common sense to know what's good or bad for you when you buy a drink at a fast food restaurant.
Yeah but when there isn't any warning saying the beverage has 2 times the amount of caffeine in a red bull you fool. I'd say that's a lawsuit
@@ifipaidmybartabtheu.swould9208there is.. i work there it says it RIGHT on the label to pour it on the SELF serve

This makes no sense, maybe you can’t heard properly. There was no clear display of the ingredients. They usually have things listed if it’s gluten free or contains products that people are allergic to more commonly. Some people can’t have salt and places don’t clarify. They could go into heart failure.
It's the American dream.......sue a company for accountability of your own mistake. Lawyers are trash
Oh come on. What does “super charged” mean to you?
Typical marketing would leave you to believe that it doesn't really mean anything at all. We are numb to all the BS of marketing claims. Who would ever think that lemonade has 4X the amount of caffeine as coffee? If you buy an energy drink you know what to expect, but lemonade?
NITRO!!!
as well as....
Put Your Seatbelts On!
DUH!!!
I had no idea that caffeinated lemonade existed. There are a bunch of products with crazy names that mean nothing.
It’s not super charged . It’s just charged
panera does tell every customer of heavily caffenated drinks
It’s her fault not the restaurant, I’m sorry, it’s called a Charged Lemonade , what did she expect?
Of course it's someone's fault.
Also all the food at Panera is baked the day before. Even if you get there at 6 am . Your bagel is 12 hours old . If you get there at noon your bagel is 18 hours old
390mg caffeine 💀
No, peeps should know, specially adults, what they pit in their mouths. Most foods have calories count..heller.
Theres a reason the lemonade says "charged"
I’ve drank that lemonade and didn’t notice the slightest supposed increased caffeine content. I dismissed as marketing bull.
I tried going today and it was closed… And the police was there
She probably opted for lemonade instead of coffee because when is there ever caffeine in lemonade? Maybe there are rare instances but no one can see it’s reasonable to expect any beverage might have caffeine. And 390 mg is insane.
Hope her family wins that lawsuit and things get changed.
"Charged" Lemonade - clear connotation of energy or caffeine.
Listed clearly under the name of the drink is caffeine content. This lady had known heart problems and acted this carelessly with things she drinks? People with deathly allergies are expected to be resilient and cautious of foods that might contain allergens, why is this woman suddenly exempt from this expectation? Why is it suddenly the company's job to babysit consumers who willingly drink something dangerous for their system?
@@bluntcabbage6042Charged means nothing. It means the same and carries the same weight as gatorade and mt dews random crazy names. Charge is associated with electricity which most people probably assume means electrolytes. Nobody is associating charged with caffeine. Plus that isn’t an indicator of the copious amounts of caffeine in the drink. It’s like the mcdonald’s coffee incidents. Just because it says hot coffee shouldn’t mean you should expect it to be 194 degrees Fahrenheit.
You might have a case if it was just called lemonade, but a varied name means it has varied ingredients. It should have been her job to understand why it wasn't normal lemonade.@@skellybonz5467
If it says CHARGED or SPIKED, drink with caution/ at your own risk. I'm seeing pictures of the machines with a sign in front of them that tells you the caffeine content of the drinks.
I had a large last week and I’m thanking god I’m ok 390 mg is not a joke.
Your daughter didn’t Read or pay attention to the clear wording and caffeine listed. Leave it to the news to break down a drink and make it seem worse than it even is.
I don't do a lot of heavily caffeinated and I did search online how much caffeine Panera' "charged drinks" have. I do not drink them but I do drink the lemonade which next to the green tea which has no caffeine.
Condolences to the family of their lost loved one.
Drinking that crap will blow you apart
who was holding a gun to the girls head?
I'm sorry for their loss but it's the daughter's own fault.
21 is an adult. she knew she had a heart condition. she made the choice herself to have a drink she knew was potentially dangerous for her to drink while living with a heart condition.
They are all pushing heavy on the “ she was trying to avoid “
Oh, wow. They were hoping to get people addicted to their product. Very sneaky. There should definitely be a warning about the level of caffeine.
Now another person just died and they kept the drink and didn’t even cancel it! I was going to Panera bread soon but I’m totally not going anymore after seeing this
I have to try this "charged lemonade". Not even 5 hour energy does it for me anymore. Too bad there are no "Paneras" nearby and it will it probably be removed or diluted before I will get the chance.
Why TF does a vanilla deli like "Panera" have this caffinated demonade and not a place like Taco Bell?
Its Charged Lemonade. Charged....
Charged....
Charged..
Lemonade ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥Charged
I think it’s misleading to say ‘lemonade’ and then load it up with caffeine- that’s the problem. Once someone hears ‘lemonade’ then they could choose to ignore the rest of the ‘disclosure’. If you want to invent some new drink then call it some new name instead of causing confusion. 90% of us do not read the manuals/instructions and the people at the counter are not going to keep warning the buyers. ‘Lemonade’ pretty much associates with ‘harmless’ aside from the sugar intake.
😿
THIS IS HORRIBLE 😢💔
You guys missed caffeinated soap and shampoos
That's crazy 390 mg. Of caffeine 🍋
I feel badly for the family, and I extend my condolences to them for their loss. But if the warning labels on the beverage dispensers saying "There's just as much caffeine in this as a dark roast coffee" isn't enough for someone with a heart condition, and has to watch their intake...I don't know what to say. Other than the EXACT NUMBERS of caffiene in a 32-ounce cup...what part of a "caffeinated lemonade" do people not understand?
With all due respect...while I feel badly for this 21-year-old's family...I don't think Panera Bread ahould be held liable for her death.
There was 400mg of caffeine in just one 30oz cup. That is the daily recommended limit for what a healthy person should safely consume. In a section that allows refills.
@@dswan1418how does this add anything? Nobody is forcing you to refill the cup. If your lack of self control or common sense causes your death, it's not much of a loss.
@@fakeidonthaveahandle Bro, it's a f*****g lemonade, right next to the regular uncaffeinated stuff, it doesn't say "caffeinated lemonade" it says "charged lemonade" and it does say 320mg of caffeine on the thing, but you might not even look at it or suspect it because Caffeinated Lemonade is as ridiculous as caffeinated breakfast cereal.
What next do i need to monitor my milk cartons to see if there's caffeine in my f*****g milk? Do i need to ask the water company if there's caffeine coming out of my tap water? If there's something that warrants FDA regulation it's this nonsense with the caffeine in things that have no business being loaded with caffeine
@@fakeidonthaveahandle Picture this: A kid who normally drinks 3 mt dews (average american 💀) and has a parent that is adamant that they don’t go over it wouldn’t see anything wrong with their kid coming around the corner with one lemonade. Well that lemonade has around the same amount of caffeine as just under 8 Mt Dews. this situation could easily happen.
I’ve gotta try this stuff now
😮 Yes hold them responsible for it. I mean who drinks that much caffeine normally? Charge the franchise
People with dangerous allergies are expected to be hyper-resilient towards all foods they consume, constantly checking for such allergens, and if they _willingly consumed_ something with that allergen, nobody lines up to sue the restaurant for serving something exactly as it's depicted on the menu.
This lady had known, diagnosed heart problems and decided to play it fast and loose with caffeine, so it's the company's fault for her own lapse in judgement?
It doesn't matter what's on the label (read the cigarette packaging) people love to play with their mortality. #everyonedies
Poison
They will lose the lawsuit. Unfortunately. Especially if they knew their child had a condition. It's plain negligence by the parents. They KNEW.
Should be denied. That student should have been aware of what’s in the drink and stay away from it. Parents are lashing out and are neglecting their duties to tell their daughter what she should and couldn’t have
That was some good lemonade
Research what you put in your body people. The company had the caffeine content listed. It is up to the consumer to research what is being put into products.
Most if not all caffeinated products will list how much caffeine is in a product.
Knowing your personal tolerance along with the normal acceptable daily intake is important. Too much caffeine can have terrible effects on people and being armed with knowledge and common sense can help avoid consuming too much.
In the end, Panera is not responsible for individuals buying and drinking this lemonade. These individuals made the cognitive decision to drink the beverage without researching the product. People nowadays are addicted to anything with caffeine and will consume without question.
It is very tragic that people have lost their lives and suffered major medical issues by just drinking lemonade. This could've been avoided.
If theyre "trying to be transparent about ingredients" or whatever then id really like to know whats in the guarana extract. cuz thats not just caffeine, theyre caffeine analogs, and nobdy is talking about it.
I'm gonna keep drinking it🤷🏽♂️
I have decided to never again spend my money at Panera simply because of what the Govener has done! Shame on people who think that this is okay and the employees should all quit it's definitely not fair to them. Things are really getting out of hand in our country!
I love ❤️ Panera bread
390 milligrams of caffeine is way too much caffeine even for a healthy person to consume all at once. I buy Bang energy and that is 300 MG of caffeine per can but I'll just drink half of it and put the rest away for later when it starts wearing off. Drinks that high in caffeine should only be a once in a while thing. I drink caffeine everyday but in moderation. 390 milligrams of caffeine is a whole days dose of caffeine. I wouldn't drink all that all at once.
Panera is sorry that their dangerous drink with 4x shots espresso was pretending to be a “lemonade”. This is not funny!
she was ignorant to buy something labeled "charged" with those conditions. Just more people trying to profit from a tragedy, discraceful!
Her parents are Gona be driving in lambos
FDA is getting funds from big franchises so they don’t. Care about people they just don’t want to follow rules on certain products !!
Why don't they just get rid of it and supply something else,this is the second death
Never been to Panera ever.
Why the need to add that much caffeine sugar and herbal booster? That's gonna raise the blood pressure.
It should be discontinued. Why is this still available for consumption. UGH. Panera isn't getting any of my money!
BUYER BE WARE...READ WHAT YOU DRINK CAUSE RESTAURANTS ARE NOT POLICE AND DONT ASK IF YOU HAVE A CONDITION❤
Panera is going to loose this, plus remove the access to those caffeinated drinks that aren't monitored...food is garabage anyways!
To be honest I only drink the bubly sparkling water from there
Lol forget the caffeine.. what about the 83g of sugar they dont tell you about. 😮
