EULA wrongful-death case (2023)
[edit | edit source]In a wrongful-death lawsuit, Jeffrey Piccolo sued Walt Disney Parks & Resorts and Great Irish Pubs Florida, Inc. after his wife, Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan, died from a severe allergic reaction at Raglan Road Irish Pub in Disney Springs on 5 October 2023. The lawsuit accused the restaurant and Disney of negligence in accommodating her food allergy, which contributed to her death.[1][2]
In May 2024, Disney attempted to have the case dismissed from court and sent to forced arbitration, citing two separate user agreements:
- The Disney+ user agreement Piccolo accepted in 2019 when signing up for a free trial to Disney's streaming service on his PlayStation
- Terms accepted when purchasing (ultimately unused) Epcot tickets through the My Disney Experience app in September 2023
This is an example of an EULA roofie, where Disney attempted to use terms buried within a streaming-service agreement to deny a consumer's right to sue over an unrelated wrongful-death case at a restaurant. Disney argued that because Tangsuan had clicked "Agree & Continue" when signing up for the Disney+ streaming service, she was bound by an arbitration clause for any legal claims against the company or its affiliates. This, they argued, included the food served by a restaurant on their premises that killed her even though the issue was unrelated to the streaming service.
Disney said that the reason for trying to send the case to arbitration was that the restaurant "is neither owned nor operated by Disney" and that they were defending themselves against inclusion in the lawsuit.[3]
