| 0:00.0 | So you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show. I got a huge show for you today. |
| 0:05.2 | We're talking about the massive backlash and controversy we've seen with those university president's comments to Congress. |
| 0:10.5 | Lemonade allegedly killing people. People taking burrito bowls to the face. We even have a rare positive story today. |
| 0:16.8 | And then there's even more. So buckle up, hit that like button if you like these long shows, and let's just jump into it. |
| 0:22.0 | Starting with, is Panera's supercharged lemonade actually killing people. That is the question at hand, as their supercharged lemonade has now been named in a second wrongful death lawsuit in just a few months. |
| 0:32.1 | Because back in October, you had the parents of 21-year-old Sarah Kat suing Panera for the wrongful death of their daughter. And according to the suit, Sarah had managed a heart condition for nearly her entire life |
| 0:40.2 | with medication and by limiting her caffeine intake. But then, in September of last year, after |
| 0:43.9 | drinking Panera's charged lemonade, Sarah went into cardiac arrest at the restaurant. She was then |
| 0:47.4 | taken to the hospital where she suffered another cardiac arrest and died. With the lawsuit saying |
| 0:51.0 | that Sarah may have thought that the lemonade was safe to drink and adds that Panera misled consumers by not labeling it an energy drink. |
| 0:56.3 | Now with that, following Sarah's death, Panera released a statement saying we were saddened |
| 0:59.5 | to learn this week about the tragic passing of Sarah Katz. |
| 1:01.9 | While our investigation is ongoing, out of an abundance of caution, we have enhanced our |
| 1:05.4 | existing caffeine disclosure for these beverages at our bakery cafes on our website and on |
| 1:09.4 | the Panera app. NBC reporting of the new language includes a notice that charged lemonade does contain caffeine |
| 1:13.9 | and should be consumed in moderation and not at all by those sensitive to caffeine or pregnant |
| 1:17.9 | nursing women. However, at that time, the attorney in Sarah's case, Elizabeth Crawford, |
| 1:21.5 | said that it wasn't enough. Saying in a statement, it's misleading in the sense that it's not |
| 1:25.0 | indicating that it is an energy drink. I'm happy that we are moving in a direction of making change, but I consider these baby steps. |
| 1:30.9 | And now those baby steps may have not been enough, with the family of 46-year-old Dennis Brown from |
| 1:35.1 | Florida, now also suing Panera for wrongful death. And according to that suit, Dennis had ADHD, |
| 1:39.4 | high blood pressure, and chromosomal deficiency disorder, which resulted in blurry vision and a mild intellectual disability. |
