His parents have filed a lawsuit against the
Minnesota Nice Cafe.
Quote:
The family’s lawsuit explains what they say happened next. Cindy Johnson asked the server if the restaurant’s gluten-free pancakes were also dairy-free. The server reported that they were, after checking with the cook. Cindy then told the server the grill would have to be cleaned before her son’s pancakes were made. Scott’s mom and sisters watched him eat two pancakes, thinking they were fine.
“He had just finished and he said ‘we have to go now,’” Cindy Johnson said.
Scott forgot to bring his EpiPen and nebulizer to the restaurant — the tools he’d used before to open his lungs and help him through an allergic reaction.

Doctors told his parents their son had suffered such a severe anaphylactic reaction, his heart had failed. Scott died three days later.

“Sixteen years. That’s too short,” Steve Johnson said.

I cannot imagine the pain this family is feeling. One of my siblings lost a child to an asthma attack.
IMO, the lawsuit should be tossed. It's really not the cafe's fault this young man died.
