A New York woman is suing American Airlines, saying it endangered her severely allergic 4-year-old son by serving peanuts on their flight. You're endangering my sanity.Tehmina Haque says in her lawsuit that airline workers assured her several times that peanuts would not be served...but flight attendants did so anyway during the April 18 flight from New York to Los Angeles. An American Airlines spokesman declined to comment specifically on the lawsuit and says the company's peanut policy is posted on its Web site. Yes, let the interweb the the talking!
The policy says the airline serves some foods that could contain peanut ingredients, and might have passengers who bring peanuts on board. It therefore strongly urges allergic customers "to take all necessary medical precautions to prepare for the possibility of exposure." Translation: if your kid is so sensitive to peanuts that having them physically in the vicinity is a threat, the Mayo Clinic ought to be chartering a special flight for you. The kid didn't get his mother's peanut tolerance, let's hope he didn't inherit her stupidity.
