DISNEY Responsible For Woman’s Death? Says They Can’t Be Sued

The Disney company must be cursed.

Another week goes by and more bad news pours out of that company

For today’s tragic tale, a man and wife visit a Disney-owned restaurant over at Disney Springs in Florida.

The woman, Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan, makes sure to let them know of her allergies numerous times.

The restaurant is emphatic about all the steps they take to ensure the customer is safe and doesn’t get anything they’re allergic to.

Well, she was served what she was allergic to, sadly.

And died.

Her husband, Jeffrey J. Piccolo , is suing Disney for wrongful death.

And always being the company that embraces every opportunity for bad PR, they said he isn’t able to sue them.

Why? What’s their reason?

‘Well, he signed up for a free trial of Disney+ back in 2019. So, you know, our hands are tied.’

How absurd of a reason is that?

But that’s what they’re sticking with.

NBC News reports:

Disney is trying to have a widower’s wrongful death lawsuit dismissed and sent to arbitration because the man had signed up for a Disney+ account several years ago.

Jeffrey J. Piccolo sued Disney Parks and Resorts in February, months after his wife, Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan, died after she consumed food containing allergens at a restaurant in Disney World.

Piccolo said in his complaint that he, his wife and his mother went to dinner at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant at the resort in Orlando, Florida, on Oct. 5. They asked several times whether Tangsuan’s allergies could be accommodated, according to the complaint. Despite the server’s having assured them, Tangsuan had a severe allergic reaction and died at a local hospital, the complaint said.

Disney filed court documents in May saying the $50,000 lawsuit should be dismissed and resolved by individual arbitration because of terms Piccolo agreed to when he signed up for a free trial of the streaming service Disney+. The filing also says he accepted the same terms when he used the Walt Disney Parks website to buy tickets.

Lawyers for the company said that users have to select checkboxes that hyperlink to the terms of use, as well as another that says they agreed to the terms. Users cannot select “Agree & Continue” if the boxes are not checked, the filing says.

The filing included a copy of its terms and conditions. A section titled “Disney Terms of Use” says that “any dispute between you and us, except for small claims, is subject to a class action waiver and must be resolved by individual binding arbitration.”

Disney’s lawyers and an attorney for Piccolo did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday.

Piccolo’s lawyers filed a response early this month, slamming Disney’s reasoning for seeking a dismissal as “preposterous.” They said he signed up for the Disney+ account on his PlayStation but believe he canceled it during the free trial.

From terrible Disney Star Wars.

Box office bombing Marvel movies.

Pixar films in the toilet.

Stocks not doing well.

Disney park attendance plummets as price skyrockets.

Rainbow mafia pushed at every chance.

On and on and on.

I wonder how much longer Disney can last?
