Disney Allergy Suit

So much drama and negativity coming from Disney.

Guys wife dies of allergens.

So many perverts in that company.

I’d be worried about any involvement with them. Seems like Knives Out at that company.

Disney drops request to have wrongful death lawsuit tossed over Disney+ subscription

Disney is no longer asking a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit on the grounds that the victim’s family had signed up for its streaming service Disney+.

The company filed a notice in Orange County court on Tuesday to withdraw the motion, which had drawn swift backlash when it became public.

Very bad PR, at a time disney can’t afford the bad PR.

“At Disney, we strive to put humanity above all other considerations,” (Josh D’Amaro, chairperson of Disney’s theme park division) said in the Monday night statement. “With such unique circumstances as the ones in this case, we believe this situation warrants a sensitive approach to expedite a resolution for the family who have experienced such a painful loss.”

Too little, too late.

In a response filed this month, they (people suing) argued that it was “absurd” to believe that the more than 150 million subscribers to Disney+ have waived all rights to sue the company and its affiliates in perpetuity because of language “buried” in the fine print.

Such language in the fine-print, the courts should rule as illegal and not binding.

Disney, in a follow-up statement to The Associated Press last week, said that it was merely defending itself against Piccolo’s attempt to include the company in his lawsuit against Raglan Road, the Irish pub in Disney Springs where the family dined.

Spokespersons for the restaurant didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment Tuesday. Disney Springs is owned by Disney, which leases some of the spaces in the outdoor dining, shopping and entertainment complex to other companies.

So why is Disney included in the lawsuit?

Piccolo’s lawsuit claims the family had decided to eat at Raglan Road in October because it was billed on Disney’s website as having “allergen free food.”

Piccolo’s wife, Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan, a physician with NYU Langone’s office in Carle Place, New York, had a severe allergy to nuts and dairy products, and the waiter had assured them her food was prepared without allergens, the lawsuit states.

Disney officially endorsed it as “allergen free food”.  The Waiter assured the couple the food was “allergen free food”.  Both were FALSE and resulted in…

But less than an hour after finishing their dinner, Tangsuan had difficulty breathing, collapsed and died at a hospital, despite self-administering an EpiPen, according to the lawsuit.

The medical examiner determined she died as a result of “anaphylaxis due to elevated levels of dairy and nut in her system,” the lawsuit states.

Well, this change in tactics won’t help disney in the PR disaster.

Nothing they can do will bring back the dead, nor make up for the emotional damage that lost and their “you can’t sue us.  we are disney” BS has already made most people’s minds up when it comes to public opinion on this case.
