Tragic Death of Dancer from Mislabelled Cookie at Stew Leonard's
A professional dancer, Órla Baxendale, tragically died from an allergic reaction to a mislabeled cookie containing peanuts purchased at Stew Leonard's grocery store, prompting her family's attorney to emphasize the preventable nature of her death. The cookies were mislabeled and did not indicate the presence of nuts, leading to a recall by Stew Leonard's. Despite Baxendale's caution and carrying EpiPens, the severity of her allergy proved fatal. The family hopes to raise awareness about anaphylaxis and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
