The plaintiff, Jeffrey Piccolo, claims his wife died of anaphylaxis after eating at a Disney World restaurant
in a new lawsuit that’s bizarre and distressing on a global scale, but also just really sad. The suit comes from a formerguest named Jeffrey Piccolo, who alleges that his wife, an NYU doctor named Kanokporn Tangsuan, died as a result of a severe allergic reaction she suffered shortly after at a restaurant on the property last October.
Disney is trying to get the suit thrown out, however, because of a clause in the user agreement for the month-longin 2019. Yes, really. Apparently, there’s a section in the fine print stating that any dispute with the company—with the exception of small claims—will be “resolved by individual binding arbitration.
Piccolo’s lawyers, of course, are arguing that Disney’s position is “preposterous” and “fatally flawed.” “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 or subsidiary, is so outrageously unreasonable and unfair as to shock the judicial conscience, and this court should not enforce such an agreement,” they wrote in an August 2 motion.
