Didn't Disney try this with a Disney+ account and a wrongful death at Disneyland?
And I thought that was bad, but at least the person was an adult when they checked the checkbox. Roblox has taken it to the next level of cartoon evil.
Yep. There's been an update, actually; the widower appears to have gotten a financial settlement with NDA and dropped the case. After a 2 year fight with Disney lawyers, that's about as good as you can hope for.
Hopefully he finds some peace, what a horrific way to lose someone.

Yeah, I remember that. They talked to the restaurant at Disney World and triple-checked because of her severe allergies. There probably felt like they were being too careful and paranoid. Obviously, the story is Disney's reaction and the backlash to them trying to argue Disney+ streaming subscription agreement meant the husband forfeited his right to a jury trial for something else. I don't know how much they got, but it's still heartbreaking...
In the latest article, he suddenly flat out refuses to talk about it whatsoever and drops the case, which usually means a private settlement. We have no way of knowing how much he got, unfortunately.
And yeah it's horrifying, because it wasn't even like a tiny cross contamination mistake or something. There was so much lactose/nut allergens in her body, that her EpiPen and the hospital could do nothing to save her. Complete gross negligence.
