In October 2023, Kanokporn Tangsuan, after dining at the Raglan Road Irish Pub in Disney Springs, died as a result of an allergic reaction, 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+ in an attempt to force the husband into arbitration. When people were informed of this, the substantial public outcry prompted Disney to rescind their request for the husband to enter arbitration. The case is still ongoing.
