Disney Seeks to Seal Food Test Results in Raglan Road Wrongful-Death Case

Plaintiffs are asking the court to unseal the independent lab’s findings they say will be central at trial.

Overview

  • InBio Lab recently tested frozen leftovers from Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan’s meal under agreed protocols, and Disney has asked the court to keep the results confidential.
  • Plaintiff’s attorney Brian Denney opposes the secrecy request, arguing most discovery has been over-designated as confidential, even including a publicly available menu.
  • Court filings from the plaintiffs disclose five prior incidents in the three years before Tangsuan’s death in which Raglan Road allegedly served diners with allergies improper meals.
  • An autopsy cited an anaphylactic reaction to dairy after Tangsuan, who had warned staff about her allergy, dined at Raglan Road; her husband preserved leftovers that later became evidence.
  • Disney previously sought arbitration based on fine-print terms but later waived that effort, and the test results are identified by the plaintiffs as Exhibit 1 for the upcoming trial.
