What do you all think about this lawsuit? I guess because DS has several allergies, and therefore I would never just assume a food is safe by it's appearance, I'm not sure that I see the city's responsibility in this. If other peanut containing foods were labeled and this particular one wasn't, I could see fault there. Or perhaps they asked a staff member about the foods and were given erroneous information.
I'm so sorry for this family's loss. I read about it when it happened. All FA deaths are tragic, but Natalie's death is particularly terrifying because the family did everything right. After learning of her death, if DS has a known ingestion of peanut, I may epi before symptoms.
I know someone whose young son had an anaphylactic reaction recently. It was his first reaction although they were aware of the allergy because he reacted to his mother's breast milk. They called the doctor when the hives started and the symptoms progressed while they were on the phone. The doctor said "do not give Benadryl. It's associated with death." When they went in for their follow-up a few days later, the doctor brought up Natalie's story.
I hope my post isn't insensitive. I don't mean it as a criticism of the family.
