‘Borders on the absurd’: Dead woman’s estate rejects Disney’s claim that widower’s Disney+ membership means wrongful death lawsuit must be arbitrated

Disney has abandoned an effort to force arbitration in a wrongful death case brought by a woman’s estate after she ate at a restaurant at Disney Springs in Florida and died from an allergic reaction.

Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan died in October 2023, allegedly because her meal at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant contained nuts and dairy — well-known allergens to which she was deathly allergic.

In February, Tangsuan’s widower, Jeffrey Piccolo, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Orange County Circuit Court.

In May, the multinational entertainment company responded to the lawsuit by arguing that since Piccolo had once signed up for a Disney+ free trial membership and “purchased park tickets with that account before dining at Raglan Road,” the lawsuit could not be dispensed with in a court of law. Rather, Disney said, the widower had to resolve the dispute through mandatory, binding, third-party arbitration.
