Disney Sued After Doctor Dies After Vacation Meal Gone Wrong

A man is suing Disney claiming his wife died from an allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant at Disney World in Orlando where she’d been assured her food was allergen-free.

According to the 19-page civil suit filed last week in Orange County, Florida, a man named Jeffrey Piccolo says his wife, New York University Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan, was fed nuts and dairy after multiple assurances from staffers at a restaurant owned by the company that she could be accommodated safely.

Piccolo said he, his wife and his mother visited the Disney-owned and operated Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant on Oct. 5, Business Insider reported.

The three were in Florida on vacation and decided to visit the theme park

When the trio sat down at their table, Piccolo’s lawsuit claims, his wife was cautious about ordering due to her extreme allergies to nuts and dairy and even sent the waiter into the kitchen to make sure the chef could prepare her food safely.

The lawsuit claims the waiter made multiple assurances that the establishment would safely accommodate Tangsuan and so she ordered from the menu.

According to the lawsuit, once her meal arrived, several food items did not have allergy-free flags on them to indicate they were safe to eat.

Piccolo’s lawsuit claims his wife again inquired whether the food she was about to consume was allergen-free and she was assured it was safe.

She consumed the meal and she, her husband and her mother-in-law left.

According to the lawsuit, the three had dinner about 8 p.m. on the night in question. About 45 minutes later, Tangsuan collapsed and suffered difficulty breathing.

She self-administered an epinephrine pen and was transported to a local hospital where she died.

Piccolo’s lawsuit states a coroner found his wife died “as a result of anaphylaxis due to elevated levels of dairy and nut in her system.”

The suit added the death was “a direct and proximate result of the negligence” of Disney.

Piccolo alleges as a result of the company’s alleged negligence, he has suffered significant damages due to the loss of his wife.

Those include mental pain and suffering, lost support and services, loss of companionship and protection and loss of income – including funeral expenses to bury his wife.

Piccolo has requested a trial and is seeking for jurors to assess a penalty “in excess of $50,000.”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.
