A Texas woman with a purported life-threatening tree nut allergy is suing American Airlines after she “narrowly survived” a light snack aboard a transatlantic flight last fall, according to a federal lawsuit obtained by The Independent.
Heather Wing says in her complaint that flight attendants twice tried to serve her items containing nuts, “despite multiple warnings” she was deathly allergic. Wing, 48, eventually accepted a plate of chicken-and-vegetable gyoza that had no allergen warning on the menu and that she was assured was nut-free.
