The husband of a New York doctor has filed a lawsuit alleging she died of an allergic reaction at Disney World and accusing the Florida resort and a restaurant where she dined of negligence.
The complaint alleges that on Oct. 5, Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant served Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan food containing allergens despite multiple assurances it would be allergy-safe.
Disney Parks and Resorts did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
Tangsuan, Piccolo and his mother went to the restaurant at Disney Springs, a Disney World shopping and dining complex, on Oct. 5 for dinner, the complaint says.
They chose to eat there believing the restaurant could accommodate her allergies, it says.
Piccolo went back to the couple's nearby hotel room, and Tangsuan stayed at Disney Springs to go shopping, the document says.
The complaint, which names the restaurant and Disney Parks and Resorts as defendants, alleges multiple counts of negligence. »
