May 7 (Reuters) - Fast-food chain Panera Bread is phasing out "Charged Sips", its line of caffeinated drinks, a company spokesperson said on Tuesday.
The beverage line has been the subject of multiple lawsuits over the past few months by people who have said the drinks caused health problems, according to various media reports.
Last year, a 21-year-old Ivy League student with a heart condition died after drinking Panera Bread's Charged Lemonade, NBC News reported in October, citing a lawsuit.
The company's "Charged Sips" which includes three different flavored drinks, come in a 64 fluid ounce container that contains 1615 milligrams (mg) to 2155 mg of caffeine, according to the company's website.
The company also said it plans to introduce new drinks with low-sugar and low-caffeine options.
