Sarah Katz, 21, had a heart condition and died hours after she drank Panera’s Charged Lemonade, a large cup of which contains more caffeine than Red Bull and Monster energy drinks combined.

All Panera Bread restaurants are now displaying “enhanced” disclosures about the restaurant chain’s highly caffeinated lemonade, a spokesperson said Saturday, following a lawsuit that was filed by the family of a young woman who died after drinking the beverage.

Monday’s lawsuit, which was first obtained by NBC News, alleges that Sarah Katz, an Ivy League student with a heart condition, died after she drank Panera’s Charged Lemonade last year.

A large Charged Lemonade contains 390 milligrams — nearly the 400-milligram daily maximum of caffeine that the Food and Drug Administration says healthy adults can safely consume.

    Because it’s an established thing. That’s your defense. It’s an established thing!

    You asked when was the last time you heard of Lemonade with caffeine I gave you an example and you didn’t like it.

    I know of caffeinated root beer. Been around for much more than a decade. You going to make a federal case of that too because root beer isn’t any established caffeinated drink.

    Also, because so much of your debate is it’s not a thing it’s not established…

    You do absolutely zero research. But you’re more than happy to stand on your soapbox and proclaim what you think as fact.
