In October 2023, Disney is attempting to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jeffrey Piccolo, the husband of Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan, aged 42, who died from an allergic reaction at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant in Disney Springs. The company argues that Piccolo had agreed to arbitrate all disputes by signing up for a Disney+ free trial years earlier. The lawsuit claims that the restaurant staff assured Tangsuan that her meal was allergen-free, leading to her fatal reaction. Disney's legal stance is based on the terms of service associated with the Disney+ subscription, which they claim precludes Piccolo from taking legal action.
