Disney wants to dismiss a $50,000 food allergy lawsuit because the plaintiff had a subscription to Disney+ in 2019.
Lawsuit Background
A man is suing Disney over the death of his wife who had a severe nut and dairy allergy. She died after eating at Raglan Road Irish Pub in Disney Springs, prompting the family to seek damages.
Disney's Defense
Disney argues that because the plaintiff, Jeffery Piccolo, had a Disney+ subscription, the dispute must be settled out of court as per the service's terms and conditions.
Details of the Incident
Kanokporn Tangsuan, the deceased, was assured by staff that her meal was safe. After leaving the restaurant, she collapsed while shopping and was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Subscription and Legal Implications
Jeffery Piccolo signed up for a Disney+ trial in 2019, and Disney claims this contract protects them from the lawsuit. Their legal team argues that using Disney’s website to purchase tickets further limits their liability.
