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.

      Why? Starbucks doesn’t limit their coffee and it has the same caffeine per ml as this drink.

        Starbucks doesn’t have a tap with unlimited refills, either.

          If you get a regular cup of coffee, you absolutely can ask for a free refill. Unless they changed that, but that was a pretty common thing for college students at one point. 4 cups of coffee aren’t out of the question.
