SINGAPORE-<\/strong> Singapore Airlines (SQ)<\/a> is facing a lawsuit from a Northern California passenger who claims she suffered a life-threatening allergic reaction after eating an inflight meal on a Bali to Singapore flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident reportedly occurred on a flight from Bali\u2019s Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), where the passenger says a meal served in Premium Economy triggered severe anaphylaxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore Airlines Passenger Allergy Lawsuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tinyan Lawrence has filed a lawsuit against Singapore Airlines in a California district court under Article 17 of the Montreal Convention. This international treaty holds airlines liable for injuries sustained by passengers during international flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the legal complaint, Lawrence was traveling with her husband and infant son in August 2025 after a family vacation in Bali. The family was flying from Bali (DPS) to Singapore (SIN) before connecting onward to San Francisco International Airport (SFO)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit states the medical emergency occurred during the first flight from Bali to Singapore. Cabin crew served a full meal service in the Premium Economy cabin where the family was seated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passengers were offered two entr\u00e9e choices: tom yum soup or chicken with pasta. Because Lawrence has a severe shellfish allergy, she avoided the soup and asked the flight attendant whether the chicken and pasta meal contained any shellfish ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crew member reportedly assured her that the dish did not contain shellfish and served the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passenger Experienced Rapid Anaphylactic Shock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After eating several bites, Lawrence quickly began experiencing symptoms of a severe allergic reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complaint states she developed rapid signs of anaphylaxis, including difficulty breathing caused by throat swelling and airway constriction. Her face and eyes reportedly swelled to the point that her vision became obstructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional symptoms included dizziness, lightheadedness, stomach cramps, hives, and flushed skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the lawsuit, Lawrence\u2019s husband immediately retrieved an EpiPen from her carry-on bag and administered a dose of epinephrine, which temporarily stabilized her condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alleged Lack of Immediate Assistance Onboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The complaint also alleges that the cabin crew<\/a> did not provide medical assistance during the emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the aircraft landed at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN)<\/a>, Lawrence says symptoms began returning as she exited the aircraft. Airport staff allegedly directed the family to the wrong medical location, delaying treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As her condition worsened, she reportedly had to administer a second EpiPen before eventually locating medical staff who provided professional care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors declared Lawrence temporarily unfit to continue flying. The family stayed overnight in Singapore before receiving clearance to continue their journey to San Francisco (SFO) the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to PYOK<\/a>, the lawsuit argues that the airline\u2019s handling of the allergy warning and meal service contributed to the medical emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
