The company argues that the terms and conditions the victim's husband accepted when he signed up for Disney+ preclude him from pursuing his lawsuit in court.
Disney wants lawsuit over fatal allergic reaction thrown out of court because victim’s husband signed up for Disney+ subscription
Jeffrey Piccolo, the plaintiff, accuses Disney of negligence that led to the death of his wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, after dining at a restaurant in the Disney Springs shopping village in Florida last October. According to documents filed with the court, Tangsuan, a doctor affiliated with New York University, had repeatedly informed the restaurant staff of her severe allergies to nuts and dairy products when placing her order.
Disney’s legal team went on to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, citing the arbitration clauses that Piccolo had allegedly agreed to when signing up for a one-month trial of Disney+, the company’s streaming service, in 2019. The lawsuit, filed under Florida’s wrongful death law, seeks more than $50,000 in damages. Piccolo is also requesting compensation for emotional distress, loss of income, and funeral expenses.
