Panera to stop serving 'Charged Sips' drinks after wrongful death lawsuits over caffeine content

Panera Bread is discontinuing its Charged Sips drinks following two wrongful death lawsuits linked to their high caffeine content. The company, which launched these fruit-flavored, caffeine-rich beverages in 2022, has not specified if the decision was due to the lawsuits or health concerns. Panera plans to introduce new low-sugar and low-caffeine options based on customer feedback.
