Disney Restaurant Implements New Allergy Policy After Doctor's Death

Following a tragic incident, Raglan Road Irish Pub now inquires about food allergies at the point of order, amidst a lawsuit alleging negligence.

A Disney Springs restaurant, Raglan Road Irish Pub, now asks diners about food allergies upfront following the death of NYU Langone doctor Kanokporn Tangsuan.
Tangsuan died from anaphylactic shock after allegedly being served food containing allergens despite informing the staff of her severe nut and dairy allergies.
The lawsuit filed by Tangsuan's husband, Jeffrey Piccolo, claims negligence on the part of Disney and the restaurant, seeking damages in excess of $50,000.
Social media reactions highlight Disney's generally positive reputation for handling food allergies, but some share experiences of mistakes and mishaps.
The incident has sparked discussions on the responsibility of restaurants and food establishments in managing and communicating about food allergies.
