A lawsuit has revealed that a “very vigilant” Ivy League student with a rare heart condition died after consuming a large “Charged Lemonade” from Panera Bread.
The parents of Sarah Katz, who was a 21-year-old student at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), filed the lawsuit in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Monday according to NBC News. Katz passed away just hours after consuming the beverage last year.
Katz had a rare heart condition called long QT syndrome type 1. This disorder can cause heartbeats to become fast-paced and chaotic.
Due to her condition, doctors recommended that she avoid energy drinks, which are extremely high in caffeine.
