ORLANDO, Fla. – A new lawsuit is taking aim at a Westgate resort in Orlando after a 1-year-old baby stumbled across a spoon contaminated with fentanyl.
The lawsuit, filed on Friday morning, says that the baby — identified only as “M.S.” — was visiting Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa with his family back in May 2024.
But while inside the hotel room, M.S. found a spoon beneath a sink within the cabinet area, the lawsuit states.

“The spoon was not part of a secured or sealed inventory and was not stored in a manner preventing access,” the lawsuit reads. “M.S. placed the spoon into his mouth. Shortly thereafter, M.S. became unresponsive and lost consciousness.”
Afterward, M.S. was taken to the hospital, and a toxic substance believed to be fentanyl was discovered both in M.S.’ system and on the spoon itself, the lawsuit reveals.
