US EditionGrandmother died after eating mislabeled cookie, family claims in lawsuit against grocery store
- Relatives of 78-year-old Margaret Jean Bryant have filed a lawsuit against Safeway, claiming her death resulted from consuming cookies that were mislabeled.
- According to court documents, Margaret Jean Bryant bought cookies from her neighborhood Safeway that were peanut butter but mistakenly identified as oatmeal raisin, which led to a fatal allergic reaction.
- After eating a cookie, Bryant felt nauseous, went to the bathroom, was found unresponsive by her husband, and was rushed to the hospital where she died within an hour.
- An autopsy revealed that Bryant died from an allergic reaction triggered by peanuts and related toxicity, and, about a month later, Albertsons Companies issued a recall for 18-count oatmeal raisin cookies sold at the same store where Bryant had purchased them.
- The lawsuit highlights that Bryant’s passing has resulted in her never being able to witness her children and grandchildren grow up, underscoring both the profound loss experienced by her family and concerns over the recalled product’s safety.
