Panera Bread's charged lemonade drink has been blamed for two deaths since 2022, and the popular bakery chain is facing multiple lawsuits as a result. In the latest incident, a Pennsylvania teenager suffered a cardiac arrest and nearly died after drinking lemonade sold by Panera Bread.
html On May 11, Luke Adams, 18, who was healthy and had no known illnesses, purchased a chicken sandwich and a large glass of mango grapefruit citrus lemonade at Panera Bread.

Luke experienced two seizures after being taken to hospital.

Luke said in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he felt very lucky to survive the accident. It is reported that the lemonade involved is a highly caffeinated drink that has previously been involved in the deaths and permanent health problems of two women. Panera Bread has pulled the product from its menu amid controversy in recent weeks.

In a separate lawsuit, Dennis Brown, 46, of Fleming Island, Florida, suffered a fatal cardiac arrest in October 2023 after drinking three glasses of charged lemonade.
