Man dies on way home from Panera after having three “charged” lemonades
Man dies on way home from Panera after having three “charged” lemonades
A large lemonade contains up to 390 mg of caffeine, nearly the FDA's daily safe limit.
Panera, formerly Panera Bread.
This is THE SECOND person who died from drinking this.

And what if they aren't properly informed about their own health? It's not like they have to get their blood pressure tested to order a drink.
Then I guess they'll find out real quick. The same goes if someone doesn't know they have a peanut allergy at a restaurant.
Yikes.
What's the alternative, have the store do a medical checkup or something? If customers ignore posted warnings, that's on them.
Limit one per customer. Easy.
So I can't order several for friends? That sucks.
Multiple people are dead.
And? Maybe those people shouldn't drink stuff with tons of caffeine in it. Do you also want to restrict sales of energy shots at grocery stores?
I don't want to "restrict" them, like some kind of law or something.
I'm just pointing out that they could, as a business, stop people from killing themselves with their product. "Buyer beware" just externalizes the burden of safety onto customers, and will absolutely result in more deaths. They could stop this from happening.
My understanding from other comments ITT is that the company posted warnings after the first incident. If they continued despite that, that's on the customer. Preventing people from buying something that could hurt them (but most likely won't) is silly. Just label things in such a way that people should understand the risks, and then call it good (and perhaps have cashiers mention it as well if they order multiple).
