Forced Arbitration of a Wrongful Death Lawsuit[edit | edit source]
In October 2023, Kanokporn Tangsuan, dining at the Raglan Road Irish Pub in Disney Springs died as a result of an allergic reaction[1], despite multiple requests that her food be cooked in an allergen-free manner. When her husband attempted to sue the restaurant for causing her death, Disney utilized terms from a trial subscription to Disney+ to attempt to force the husband into arbitration[2]. When people were informed of this, the substantial public outcry prompted Disney to rescind their request for the husband to enter arbitration.[3] The case is ongoing.
