Peggy Bryant prepared to celebrate her 60th anniversary when her life became brief by an incorrectly labeled cake.
The 78-year-old had just been shopping in a Safeway Life Shop store in Duvall, Wash. King TV.
“My mom loved oatmeal Russin cookies,” Bryant’s daughter, Lisa Bishop, told the Seattle outlet.
But after just a bit of the Safeway brand baked well, Bryant noticed that the treatment was something completely completely, Lisa claims.
“She realized that the cake she eats actually was a peanut butter cake,” she told King TV, “and she is deadly allergic to nuts, peanuts.”
Bryant was rushed to a nearby hospital, but died within the hour, Lisa recalled to the outlet. A coronary report later confirmed that anaphylaxis-a life-threatening allergic reaction was the cause of her death, according to her son-in-law, Greg Bishop.
“When they got back the blood results, (the coron) said it was clearly anaphylaxis,” Greg said. “Her blood vessels had basically broken.”

Months before she could celebrate 60 years with her sweetheart in high school, Bryant’s life was not only shortened, but her last moments “were tragic and horrible and painful” -a outrageous ending for someone who was “always filled with joy and fun,” Lisa told King TV.
Now, two years later, Bryant’s family is taking legal action.
After the deadly mixture, the health department conducted an inspection, which led to Safeway issuing a revocation, according to the family’s complaint. But the family says it does not want any repeated incidents, especially because Bryant’s death was so preventive.
“I knew we just had to do something,” Lisa told King TV. So the family handed in a mood against the grocery store chain.
Albertons Companies, which owns Safeway, did not immediately respond to people’s request for comment on Saturday, May 10.

The family’s trial, which was submitted in the federal court, seeks responsibility for the error and aims to highlight the critical importance of the correct food label.
“Do the right thing,” Lisa told King TV. “I don’t want it to happen to anyone else. Labels are there for a reason, and I don’t want anyone else to die from error.”
