Panera says its 30-ounce size of Charged Lemonade contains 390 mg of caffeine — similar to a 16-ounce Starbucks blonde roast, two shots of 5-Hour Energy, or about five cans of Red Bull.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that a safe quantity of caffeine “for healthy adults” typically amounts to about 400 milligrams per day.

Additionally, Charged Lemonade is mixed by store employees, meaning that “its caffeine content is not controlled and, in turn, has an innate and dangerous potential to vary,” according to the lawsuit. “We want to make sure that the drink includes a warning, or is taken off the shelf,” Crawford told CNN. “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.
