5 DEC: The wife and daughter of a man who died from food poisoning are suing American Airlines and an airline catering company for more than $1m.
The women claim Othon Cortes, 73, of Miami was poisoned by a contaminated meal he ate during a flight from Barcelona to New York.
Mr Cortes was said to be severely ill when the flight landed in New York and died shortly after leaving a connecting flight in Miami.
American Airlines says it doesn’t comment on pending litigation.
