Disney is seeking to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit involving a woman who suffered a fatal allergic reaction after dining at Disney Springs, using an arbitration waiver from the Disney+ terms and conditions. The victim, Kanokporn Tangsuan, informed restaurant staff of her severe allergies but later experienced anaphylaxis and passed away after self-administering an EpiPen. Disney argues that the plaintiff agreed to arbitration when signing up for a Disney+ free trial, leading to controversy over whether such terms can override legal rights. Attorneys for the plaintiff criticize Disney’s attempt to enforce an agreement against a non-signing party and question the fairness of this approach.
