United Airlines Faces Backlash Over Handling of Passenger's Son's Peanut Allergy

A United Airlines passenger with a son who has a life-threatening peanut allergy says she was "humiliated" by a supervisor who refused to inform other travelers of the allergy. Despite United's policy of informing passengers in close proximity of an allergy, the supervisor denied the request. The passenger, who is a food allergen campaigner, has filed a complaint with the Department of Transportation and is calling for United to be fined and staff to be trained on how to handle passengers with food allergies.
