A 21-year-old with an underlying heart condition died after consuming a “Charged Lemonade”. This lemonade has as much or more energy as compared to an energy drink. Sarah Katz was sent into cardiac arrest at a restaurant with some of her friends. She later died that afternoon after being transported after experiencing a second cardiac arrest. In an autopsy report obtained by CNN, the medical examiner cites Katz’s cause of death as cardiac arrhythmia due to long QT syndrome (LQTS). LQTS is a disorder that can cause fast and irregular heartbeats that can be life-threatening, according to the Mayo Clinic. The  attorney representing Katz’s parents, described that she wants the drink to include a warning, or is taken off the shelf in order to stop something like this from happening again. “It’s a dangerous energy drink and it’s not advertised that way. We want to make sure this does not happen to someone else”. Crawford told CNN.

This is news because this is a tragic event that needs to be talked about so people are made aware of this situation. A young woman who was only the age of 21 years old life was taken due to her not knowing what she was drinking due to poor labeling. It will be interesting to see what measures Panera takes after facing this lawsuit regarding the death of Sarah Katz.
