New information are emerging about Órla Baxendale‘s last minutes.
The New York dancer, who passed away Jan 11 at age 25, took preventative measures to avoid her death, according to her household lawyer.
At a celebration previously this month, Baxendale entered into anaphylactic shock due to a serious allergy from consuming a cookie which contained peanuts– although the label did not reveal the active ingredient, her attorney stated.
“Because Orla was so vigilant and so careful with everything she touched, she actually Googled ‘soy nut,’ which is on the package,” her lawyer Marijo Adimey informed ABC News, “wanting to make sure that a soy nut wasn’t a nut.” (Soy nuts are soybeans, not tree nuts.)
After she took a bite of Stew Leonard’s Vanilla Florentine Cookie, Baxendale started having a response. Her pals hurried her to the health center and utilized her EpiPen, per the outlet, however she regretfully didn’t make it.
Stew Leonard Jr.— the CEO of the grocery store chain that offered the desserts– stated they were not notified that the provider had actually altered the dish from soy nuts to peanuts.
