Niles Restaurant Sued After Allergic Girl Dies From Food
The parents of Katelyn Carlson, who had a severe peanut allergy, are bringing a case against the restaurant.
Katelyn Carlson, 13, who had a severe allergy to peanuts, died after eating food from that her teacher ordered for a class celebration just before winter break, according to the Huffington Post. Now her family is suing the restaurant for wrongful death.
The lawsuit says Carlson's school, the Edison Park Regional Gifted Center in Chicago, explicitly told the restaurant not to include any peanut products in the food because of students' allergies. Lab testing found trace amounts of peanuts in the meal.
The Chinese Inn is located at 7505 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Niles.
