The caffeine content was literally listed on the drink's nametag taking up like 1/4 of the tag.
One of the guys who died drank 90oz of the stuff and had known blood pressure issues. Panera isn't at fault here.
Calling it Lemonade might prove to be a problem because there's an understood meaning for the word lemonade that doesn't involve caffeine. They could have marketed it as lemon-flavored but calling it lemonade and putting it next to the regular lemonade could be construed as them trying to hide the caffeine content from consumers.
It's called Carged Lemonade. That implies some level of caffeine.
Also, again, the caffeine content of the drink was clearly displayed. It's not like they dumped caffeine in lemonade and didn't tell anyone.
Lemonade by itself maybe, but "Charged" is the first word read right before it
That should immediately imply it's not a normal lemonade
So what if the content was listed. That's far from their only legal obligation
What legal obligation do they have? Do you expect fast food employees to monitor the caffeine intake of their customers? Should they be required to take the customer's blood pressure before serving them?
These are adults who made a decision to drink (to excess) a beverage whose name and signage indicate a high caffeine content.
Maybe they should weigh them and test their blood sugar too. Deny them their fast food if they're too fat/diabetic
OK. I'd imagine you've never worked in retail management or compliance. That's fine.
Haven’t seen the tag, but note dispensers were moved behind registers at some locations after the first death/lawsuit.
