ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 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.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit, filed on Friday morning, says that the baby \u2014 identified only as \u201cM.S.\u201d \u2014 was visiting Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa with his family back in May 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe spoon was not part of a secured or sealed inventory and was not stored in a manner preventing access,\u201d the lawsuit reads. \u201cM.S. placed the spoon into his mouth. Shortly thereafter, M.S. became unresponsive and lost consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Afterward, M.S. was taken to the hospital, and a toxic substance believed to be fentanyl was discovered both in M.S.\u2019 system and on the spoon itself, the lawsuit reveals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dangerous condition was latent and not open and obvious to Plaintiff or his guardians,\u201d the lawsuit continues. \u201cNeither Plaintiff, nor anybody in Plaintiff\u2019s party created the condition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, M.S.\u2019 family is accusing the resort of negligence, seeking over $50,000 in damages.<\/p>\n
