friends, for family, for communities. that clock that she made is like some of the symbols she really loved. >> reporter: so many wonderful photos. >> so many mixed emotions. it's frozen in time. it's stopped now. there's no more photos. there's no more memories. it's the memories that we have. >> reporter: this room belonged to sarah katz, a 21-year-old college student. now it's a moment frozen in time. it's been a way since september 10th, 2022, when her parents, jill and michael, got a devastating phone call. take us back to that day. what happened? >> on the saturday, we went to our friends and were having a barbecue. it was outside. and i saw my phone ring. answered the phone. it's one of sarah's friends saying sarah had just arrived at a restaurant and collapsed. so we got in the car, drove like

crazy. >> reporter: what happened when you got to the trauma center? >> the doctor came. that was when we first heard that she had quite an episode at the restaurant. they weren't able to resuscitate her. in the hospital she had another cardiac arrest. the doctor came back, said they were going to stop the resuscitation. in total disbelief, which we still are to some degree, even though the time's flown, gone by -- >> the main so is hard and so deep. it's not something you get better from. some people say, time is all-healing. it's not. there's no healing. it's just acclamation. >> reporter: sarah had a heart condition called long qt syndrome. she had been diagnosed at just 5 years old, but it took days before her parents could figure out what they believe caused the sudden cardiac arrest. >> we had to go pack up her apartment in philadelphia, which was gut wrirchling. >> so, so hard.

>> went there. her roommates told us that she had had a drink from panera, a charged lemonade drink. the reason the roommate brought it up is she had known about some of the dangers in these excessively caffeinated energy drinks that have multiple other ingredients. she was the one to put the pieces together. the doctor said that is absolutely something that could have contributes. >> reporter: they're suing panera for wrongful death, negligence, and several other counts, claiming the company failed to properly warn consumers of their dangerous product, panera charged lemonade. >> we're not talking about a bar. we're talking about panera bread. that's not a place a reasonable consumer would be asking what was in a product and thinking it was dangerous. >> reporter: for more than a year, the katzs pushed to get the drink taken off panera's menu. >> how can we not do something? how can we sit by and remain

silent? >> reporter: today a shocking announcement, panera saying they'll stop serving their charged sips drinks. >> i know as we're sitting here today, people's lives have been saved by the awareness of this. >> reporter: their lawsuit alleges that the 30-ounce size of panera's charged lemonade contained more caffeine and sugar than a 12-ounce can of red bull and a 16-ounce can of monster energy drink combined. it includes photos showing that panera advertised the drink as plant-based and clean with as much caffeine as our dark roast coffee. >> panera doesn't even serve a 30-ounce dark roast coffee. this is a dangerous product for subsets of the population. if you're going to sell this dangerous product, you must have a warning. they failed to do that here. >> reporter: they say sarah stayed a away from energy drinks because of her heart condition. >> my recommendations to patients with long qt syndrome would be avoid caffeine.

>> reporter: dr. maloney did not treat sarah and is not involved in the lawsuit but says caffeine and particularly energy drinks can be dangerous for some. >> increasing the heart rate can lead to abnormal heart rhythms that can be fatal. in addition, caffeine can increase that recharging time. both these things together can create the perfect storm where someone with an underlying genetic disorder, like long qt, can go into a fatal heart rhythm. >> reporter: after sarah's death, a panera spokesperson told abc news in part, "we were saddened to learn last week about the tragic passing of sarah katz. out of an abundance of caution, we have enhanced our existing caffeine disclosure." today, panera did not respond to specific questions about their charged drinks but said they were undergoing a, quote, menu transformation and were launching low-sugar, low-caffeine options. the company is facing two other lawsuits and has denied any

wrongdoing in all three cases, saying their products are safe. it goes beyond panera. the fda does not currently have any specific restrictions for energy drinks or require any warnings on their labels. >> sidei've seen patients, not with genetic cardiac issues, just with normal hearts, come in with symptoms and abnormal heart rhythms after consuming energy drinks. i would definitely say that the fda should have some sort of labeling or have some sort of regulation on these products. >> reporter: the fda telling abc news, they reached out to panera about this product, adding that it's up to the companies to ensure they understand their responsibility to consumers when adding caffeine to their products. >> i love this picture that dana put together. after we lost sarah. oh, this is when she got into

1440 minutes you have, imagine the positive impact that you could have on this world." >> nothing changes, now our daughter's gone. nothing's going to bring her back. but if we can help and help others avoid this devastating loss for anyone else -- >> excruciating loss. >> i think that, at least, will be worth additional pain to make a positive impact. >> trevor: our thanks to stephanie. attorneys for the plaintiffs against panera tell us tonight, they strongly support panera's decision to remove charged lemonade from the menu. they believe this decision will save lives. when we return, one on one with brooke shields who made headlines at 14 in "blue lagoon." >> you can go find some other place to live! >> i said i was sorry, what more do you want me to say? >> trevor: she says her most recent project feels a lot like that 1980 film. without daily hiv pills. od to go

my girls. because they have a whole life and a whole form of communication that not only am i not really interested in, i don't really understand it. so instead of just refusing it, i have to say to them, okay, instead of making fun of me, you have to teach me. i'd like to learn. and that's helped us a bit. because it's stopped a little bit of the eye-rolling. >> reporter: how do you manage your career, work, and your daughters' lives at the same time? >> i think if you ask any mom, it never feels enough. it never feels balanced. you can give it all up and just be that mom. and that's probably the hardest job in the world, and i am blessed to be able to have a career that i could escape to and then return or bring them with me. >> reporter: you've mentioned that filming "mother of the bride" made you reminisce on your experience filming "blue lagoon." >> i don't know what's wrong with me when i say the things i say.

different ways -- to me. they didn't just focus on one common denominator. they talked about the industry. sexualization of young women. mother-daughter relationships. female relationships. parenting. alcoholism. people from all walks of life and ages and ethnicities took away from it something that resonated with them. that, to me, was what i'd hoped it would do. now we're seeing many more child actors come out and have allegations against different networks. >> reporter: how is it to see that? we really hadn't seen that before. >> i have rage and anger when i see these various documentaries about children. i was so protected that a lot of what was behind the scenes and happening, i didn't really see. everybody was so adamant about calling me a victim. they wanted me to be angry, they wanted me to, you know, be

broken and become a train wreck. and i see how it happens. i missed that piece of it, and i am forever blessed. >> reporter: you're not only an actress, you're an advocate and role model for so many other women. what prompted you to be so vocal? >> i think it stemmed from just being in the public eye in one way or another probably my entire life. getting so tired of everybody's opinion being what was out there, as if it was reality. i learned at a very early age, people are going to say whatever they want. to say it's not about them at all, it's about my being able to be honest, being able to say, no, this is my truth. >> reporter: brooke, thank you so much for being here. a pleasure to speak with you. watch "mother of the bride" starting thursday on netflix. >> trevor: our thanks to stephanie. when we return, with the bond and determination of two good friends, where it's taken them. with my moderate to severe
