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.
Don’t forget the board of directors, someone hired those c suite people on purpose to do this kind of thing.
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
I feel the sudden urge to pirate D+ shows even harder now.
The Acolyte is good. Do it.
Counterpoint: The only good Star Wars show is Andor. The rest is passable at best
I’m so burned out on Star Wars and Marvel that Disney would have to pay me to watch that schlock. My only regret is that I cancelled D+ a year ago and I can’t stick it to them again over this bs.
Burned out on Star Wars? I’m still going since 1977 …
Such a shitty defense. I’d probably rule in favor of the plaintiff just because of its bizarre stretch. Like why not just claim “plaintiff knew they had a food allergy and yet did not carry an epi pen” or something else grounded in reality rather than this Disney+ nonsense? Disney should fire these lawyers and settle with an NDA before this gets any worse.
“plaintiff knew they had a food allergy and yet did not carry an epi pen”
Except they did. They self-administered the epi-pen before being taken to the hospital like you’re supposed to.
This is clearly a hail Mary from Disney, and I have no idea why considering the bad publicity will clearly outweigh a wrongful death payment. Disney has people die at their facilities all the time, usually it’s unrelated to anything they did, but it’s not like people haven’t suddenly had heart attacks or a stroke at a park before.
If you read the article you’d notice that she did carry and administer the EpiPen and still died later at the hospital. Not a doctor so no idea how that works but it seems like she did everything she was supposed to.
Wow that is awful.
