Nut allergies were never on my radar. However, I recently met a wonderful, energetic, 5 year old girl. Her nut allergies were discovered after having a serious and dangerous reaction early in life. I have come to see how important proper labeling is. Improper labeling concerns me as a personal injury attorney who has seen people become injured due to dangerous products, but also concerns me on a personal level. As a consumer I need to know if I can give my five year old friend a special chocolate treat or not. It is frightening to think that mislabeling could cause a serious emergency.
