Disney Drops Attempt To Block Wrongful Death Lawsuit Over Disney+ Subscription

Disney is dropping a a plan to block a wrongful death lawsuit over a food allergy death in Disney Springs. Last October, Dr. Amy Tangsuan of Long Island died of an allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant at Disney Springs Raglan Road. After her family named Disney in a wrongful death lawsuit, the company tried to get it dismissed because Tangsuan's husband had signed up for a free trial of Disney+ - which included fine print declaring the customer gave up the right to sue Disney in court. The move generated a wave of backlash online, prompting Disney to drop the motion this week. A Disney official said the circumstances of the case call for "a sensitive approach" and said it would waive its right to arbitration. Do you read the fine print when signing up for online services?  Would Disney's attempt at dismissal even have held up in a court of law?
