    I'm sorry I feel bad for saying this but if you know you have a heart condition you should not be drinking charged anything. I just find it weird how Panera didn't disclose how much caffeine is in the drink.

    People with medical conditions typically read food labels. The responsibility to read the label was Sarah’s. As a transplant patient, there are certain foods that I can’t have as they interfere with my meds. I read every label and google info if I have any questions about products when I don’t see a label.

    “Charged” that’s a hint right there that it’s not a regular drink . Might as well have all stores remove all energy drinks too then.

    People are very litigious these days, looking for a quick payday. I sympathize with the parents for the loss of their daughter, but their filing is a waste of their money. I don’t see how they can convince a jury or judge that Panera Bread is at fault.
  • She made an educated choice to gamble on a charged beverage killing her.
  • It's literally called "Charged" and while her parents may not know what that means she surely did. Her friend said, "she started drinking these lately" "she knew she wasn't supposed to drink caffeine" This is bs

    How did a Penn student smart enough to get accepted not realized charged meant caffeine?
  • I have a severe cat allergy and have two cats. I take full responsibility for my stupidity.

    Parents say she had no idea what was in the drink. How would they know that.
  • I know I've read that charged lemonades have caffeine in them. I don't think this is on panera but an error on the side of the user.
  • Did Panera hide the ingredients? Were the ingredients illegal? Was the deceased an adult? Where is the case?
  • @kimbok5971
    People suing for any reason. If this girl knew she had a heart condition, she shouldn't have been consuming ANYTHING that is called "charged".
  • College student who knows she has a heart problem but can’t figure out that “charged” might indicate caffeine. Words mean things people.

    I can't expect anyone to cater to my personal medical needs. I can't expect everyone to conform to my needs. What is Panera and others to do? Remove everything from their menu? I'm so sorry she died. I truly am. But it was her responsibility to check what she put into her mouth.

    She was an adult... its terrible but life happens.. change laws but not for profit in the parents pockets.. Sarah made her choice as an adult

    These frivolous lawsuits must end. Take some responsibility for yourself. The Katz just want to sue.
