Forced Arbitration of a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

In October 2023, Kanokporn Tangsuan, dining at the Raglan Road Irish Pub in Disney Springs died due to food poisoning, despite multiple reminders that her food was being cooked in a manner where she would not have consumed allergens. When her husband, Jeffery Piccolo, attempted to sue the restaurant for causing her demise, Disney pulled up terms agreed upon for a trial subscription to Disney+ in order to force the husband to sue under forced arbitration. When people were informed of this, there was massive backlash, which startled Disney to rescind their request for Jeffery to enter arbitration. It is currently unknown what the results of the case were.
