Over the weekend, this 27-year-old woman was invited to a Halloween party her friend Rob was throwing.
She made Dessert to share with everyone at the party: peanut butter brownie cheesecake tarts. It was pretty evident that her dessert contained peanut butter. Not only could you smell it, but you could also see it because she had drizzled some over the top of the dessert.
While the party was underway, Rob’s new girlfriend, Janie, began wheezing, choking, and coughing badly.
She had no idea that Janie actually has a peanut allergy, and Janie had an awful allergic reaction after eating one of the tarts she made.
The party quickly was over as Rob had to rush with Janie to the Emergency Room.
“Janie was fine, but yesterday [she] started texting me and contacting me, insisting that I should pay for her hospital bill since I had made the dessert and had not labeled it or publicly announced that it had peanuts in it,” she explained.
“No one had at any point told me that Janie had this allergy or asked me to label food with allergens (none of the other food at the party had a label on it).”
“I refused and said that she should have asked me if she was concerned that the dessert had peanuts in it, AND I was honestly just shocked that it wasn’t obvious…The dessert smelled clearly of PB and had crunchy peanut butter very obviously drizzled on the top.”
Janie went around telling all of Rob’s friends without actually sharing any key details, and now some of the friends that she has in common with Rob are siding with Janie.

Some of her friends are insisting she should cover the cost of Janie’s medical bill since her dessert was what sent Janie into an allergic reaction, and they agree she should have indicated that her dessert contained peanut butter.
A handful of people are on her side and saying this wasn’t her fault at all and that Janie should have asked if her dessert contained any allergens or Rob should have let the guests know about her allergy prior to the party.
“Janie has been texting me multiple times daily and has sent me screenshots of her ER bill, which is about $2,000, and today, after I ignored her messages, she threatened to take me to court for ‘poisoning’ her,” she said.
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to not want to pay Janie’s medical bill. What do you think?
