Disney Reverses Stance on Wrongful Death Lawsuit
News summary

Disney has reversed its position and will not seek arbitration in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jeffrey Piccolo after his wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, died from an allergic reaction at a Disney Springs restaurant. Initially, Disney argued that Piccolo had agreed to arbitration terms when signing up for Disney+ and purchasing theme park tickets. Public backlash led the company to change its stance, with Disney's chairman citing the need for a 'sensitive approach' given the family's loss. Piccolo is seeking over $50,000 in damages, and the case will now proceed in court. This decision also raises concerns about the broader implications of arbitration clauses in consumer agreements.
