Tangsuan had a severe dairy and nut allergy and informed the waitstaff at the restaurant of her dietary needs, and was “unequivocally assured” they could be accommodated. She ordered and ate the “Sure I’m Frittered” vegetarian broccoli and corn fritters, the “Scallop Forest” sea scallops appetizer, the “This Shepherd Went Vegan” entree, and a side of onion rings.

After their meal, Piccolo returned to their hotel room, and Tangsuan and her mother-in-law continued to shop at Disney Springs. later that evening, Tangsuan had an acute allergic reaction in Planet Hollywood, self-administered an EpiPen, and was transported to a local hospital, where she later died.

In the latest update for the Disney Springs wrongful death lawsuit, Disney cited legal language within the terms and conditions for Disney+, which “requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.” Disney claims Piccolo reportedly agreed to this in 2019 when signing up for a one-month free trial of the streaming service on his PlayStation console.

    Shit, that’s a bad look for Disney. The idea that someone could sign up for a 30-day trial to some product and completely lose their right to a jury trial for life against any and all companies associated with the parent company is absurd.

    The attorney was right to describe that as preposterous. And if the court cedes and tosses the trial, it sets a chilling precedent against consumer rights.

      Yeah Christ I got to the part where it was just a fucking trial agreement and was fucking floored.

      Fuck Disney.

      Any company that can kill a person and say it was fine cause they can’t be held responsible because they don’t want to deserves to burn to the ground with their C suite in the building.

      Disney continues to prove that I am quite correct in my ongoing boycott. Haven’t spent any money on Disney at all in 5 years or so.

        I enjoyed The Acolyte, although it wasn’t as good as Andor. But really, nothing from the Mouse will be that good for a while.

        No I don’t pay for a D+ membership. Yes I still have 9TB free on my NAS
