PORTLAND — An Oregon man with a severe nut allergy has sued Starbucks after saying he ordered coffee with soy milk but was given almond milk instead.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Thursday that 34-year-old Max Scher filed a $10,000 lawsuit against the company this week saying he had to rush to a Portland emergency room in May after taking sips of the drink.
Scher says he is a regular customer who often reminds the staff of his allergy.
Scher says he checked the cup and it had “soy milk” written on it, but could not tell it contained almond milk by taste.
