Disney Seeks Dismissal of Allergy Death Suit Citing Disney+ Subscription Arbitration

Aug 14, 2024, 05:11 AM

Disney is seeking to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the husband of an NYU doctor who died from an allergic reaction after dining at Raglan Road, a Disney Springs restaurant. The company argues that the lawsuit should be moved to arbitration based on the terms of service agreed to when the widower signed up for a Disney+ free trial. The estate of the deceased rejects Disney's claim, describing it as bordering on the absurd. The doctor had been assured the meal was allergen-free.
