Boy who suffered fatal allergic reaction to cheese thrown down shirt given expired EpiPen, court hears


The 13-year-old boy who tragically died from a severe allergic reaction after a classmate threw cheese down his shirt two years ago was allegedly yelling that he “was going to die” moments before being given an expired EpiPen, according to court testimony. “He started to be a bit more erratic and then I shouted at Faye (the receptionist) to call the ambulance because Karan is having an allergic reaction,” Campbell said, according to SWNS. But in severe cases, exposure to an allergen can produce a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis. The inquest heard that Karan was given an expired EpiPen due to a spreadsheet error. According to SWNS, Karan suffered from asthma and had atopic eczema in addition to being severely allergic to wheat, gluten, all dairy, eggs and nuts.
