News about Dennis Brown

A spokesperson for the chain said the change was part of a 'menu transformation' and internal memos suggest it could begin within the next two weeks. The move comes after lawsuits filed against the company blamed the highly caffeinated drinks for two deaths and heart damage in a third patient. The family of a Pennsylvania college student who had a pre-existing heart condition alleged she died after drinking a large Charged Lemonade last year. A second lawsuit was filed in December by the family of a disabled Florida man, 46, who also died after drinking several Charged Lemonades.

A female celebrity is suing Panera Bread for alleged heart disease caused by the product's charged lemonade, which can contain as much caffeine as three cans of Red Bull.

Panera Bread is facing a second wrongful death case after a Florida man suffered a fatal cardiac arrest after eating the chain's highly caffeinated 'Charged Lemonade.' Dennis Brown, 46, went into cardiac arrest on October 9 just after he left his local Panera Bread in Fleming Island, according to a complaint brought Monday. On the sidewalk, he was discovered unresponsive and pronounced dead. Mr Brown, a developmental disability sufferer and high blood pressure, started ordering the drinks three weeks before his death. Sarah Katz's family said the Pennsylvania college student, who had an underlying heart disease, died after drinking one large amount of Charged Lemonade last year.

Tammi Arrington, 42, the mother of one, had been visiting Dallas from Mississippi when the incident occurred, during which she gracefully extracted wheelchair-bound local Dennis Brown from the combusting vehicle. Brown took to social media to reshare a news article that captured the ordeal - drawing his savior's interest in the process. The pair had briefly lost touch with the incident's chaotic aftermath and went on to post a touching digital reunion in which they announced plans to meet again in person. Brown was unable to walk after an encounter with a gunman when he was 22, and despite having no use of his legs and a nail biting video illustrating how close he came to being burned alive.
