ALBAWABA - Disney is under fire across social media after news circulated that the company tried to dodge a wrongful death lawsuit from a grieving husband who lost his wife due to an allergic reaction during their visit to Florida's popular attraction.
According to the New York Post, the incident occurred at a Disney Springs restaurant in Oct. 2023. Kanokporn Tangsuan's husband Jeffrey Piccolo claimed that his wife suffered from an allergic reaction after eating food at the restaurant in question. So how is Disney trying to dodge the lawsuit?

The New York Post added that the company claimed that Piccolo agreed to pass judgment on all quarrels with it after signing up for Dinsey+'s one-month trial in 2019.
The company added that Picollo also agreed to pass judgment after using the 'My Disney Experience' app to buy tickets for the 'Epcot theme park' which was a month before the trip which caused the incident to occur.
In response to the company, Picollo's lawyer fired back and said that the company's argument was flawed and added, "The notion that terms agreed to by a consumer when creating a Disney+ free trial account would forever bar that consumer’s right to a jury trial in any dispute with any Disney affiliate."

Tangsuan died at the age of 42 due to an allergic reaction named anaphylaxis shortly after her visit to the restaurant in question.
After her visit, she started having difficulties with breathing and collapsed, according to the court and despite receiving the needed treatment, she couldn't make it.
