The death of a New York City professional dancer who died after eating mislabeled cookies sold at a Northeastern United States supermarket chain was 'devastating and preventable', an attorney for the family said Thursday.
Orla Baxendale, 25, of Manhattan, died on Jan. 11 from anaphylactic shock after a severe allergic reaction to a cookie manufactured.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Stew Leonard's, based in Norwalk, Connecticut, recently issued a recall of the Vanilla Florentine Cookies sold at Stew Leonard's in Danbury and Newington, Connecticut on the dates Nov. 6 through Dec. 31, 2023, the firm reported.
The cookies contained peanuts not listed as part of the ingredients, the law firm wrote.
Baxendale's death occurred due to 'the gross negligence and reckless conduct' of the manufacturer and sellers who failed to properly identify the contents of the cookie on the packaging,' Attorney Marijo C. Adimey with the firm told USA TODAY via email.
