Lawsuit alleges NYU doctor's death after dining at Disney World restaurant with allergen-free food claim

A doctor from NYU died after dining at a Disney World restaurant where the waitstaff assured her the food was allergen-free, despite her nut and dairy allergies. The doctor began feeling sick after dinner and ultimately collapsed and died, with the medical examiner attributing her death to anaphylaxis due to elevated levels of dairy and nut in her system. Her husband has filed a lawsuit against Disney, alleging negligence and seeking damages in excess of $50,000, claiming that the company failed to ensure that the food indicated as allergen-free was indeed free of allergens and did not properly educate its employees on serving allergy-safe food.
