Disney Seeks Dismissal of Jeffrey Piccolo's Wrongful Death Suit in Florida Court Over Disney+ Terms
Aug 14, 2024, 09:08 PM
In October 2023, Disney is seeking to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jeffrey Piccolo, whose 42-year-old wife, Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan, died from an allergic reaction after dining at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant in Disney Springs. The company argues that Piccolo agreed to arbitration for all disputes when he signed up for a free trial of Disney+, which included an arbitration clause in the terms of service. Disney's stance has sparked controversy, as critics argue that the streaming service's terms should not apply to incidents unrelated to the service itself. The lawsuit alleges that Disney employees assured Tangsuan that her meal was allergen-free, which was not the case. The case is being presented in a Florida court.
