A SCHOOLGIRL with a severe dairy allergy tragically died after drinking hot chocolate from Costa Coffee.
Hannah Jacobs, 13, who was intolerant to dairy products, fish and eggs since she was a kid, thought the drink was made with soya milk.She had told the barista about her daughter's dairy intolerance, legal firm Leigh Day says.
However, when Hannah took a sip from the hot drink while waiting at the dental clinic's reception, she immediately told her mother it was not soya milk, sparking concerns it contained dairy products.She was urgently rushed to a nearby pharmacy, where chemists gave her an EpiPen - a self-administered medicine used as the first response in case of anaphylactic attacks.
Despite an ambulance crew shortly arriving at the scene to rush her to a hospital - and several attempts of resuscitation - medical staff were unable to save the child's life.‘Katie Price ruined my holiday!’ says guest sickened by her ‘pus scars’ in poolIn the picture, understood to be snapped on her 13th birthday, the schoolgirl can be beaming a smile while holding birthday balloons and wearing a beautiful sash.

A second dose can be given after five minutes if there has been no improvement If the person’s condition deteriorates after making the initial 999 call, a second call to the emergency services should be made to ensure an ambulance has been dispatchedRETURN FLIGHT
