Fentanyl lawsuit at Westgate

[simpsontruckdriver]

In 2024, a toddler found a spoon in a cabinet, put it in his mouth, and suffered fentanyl poisoning. The family is suing Westgate due to it.

A very sad situation.

Happened at Westgate Lakes. They have the clean out team then the next team comes in to get the unit ready and then they have the supervisor team to make sure everything looks ok. It's Westgate so it doesn't surprise me.

1 yr old was crawling in a cabinet under a kitchen sink in a timeshare, what could go wrong? Sad world we live in today that this happened.

Given the amount of pot use we smelled at Westgate Lakes when we were there, it seems drug use there isn't uncommon. I am sure it happens at other properties too. We find all kinds of things that were missed by housekeeping at different resorts all the time.

I know it does. The only good thing about fentanyl addiction is it replaced heroin addiction not that either are good. Its because I can wash the silverware but someone finding the wrong end of a needle might have a problem.

Sad situation. I have also found items that housekeeping missed at both hotels and timeshare resorts. I am sure there are items left behind that get missed by housekeeping and me, as I don't go searching under beds or low furniture etc.

Good grief! Awful! And now another thing to be on high alert about

One of our boys found some 'little blue pills' under a night table in a timeshare we checked into in Daytona Beach in the early 90's. They were playing hide & seek and one was wiggling under the bed when he spotted them. Thankfully the boys brought them to me right away. It helped that the son who found them was around 6 years old and knew not to take any pills a parent or responsible family member didn't give them. It could have been really bad if they had been toddlers like the child in the story and taken even one.

The cleaners need to be doing a much better job given some of the things and soiled items we have found in timeshares over the last few years, but it seems with cutbacks they need to clean more rooms with less staff.

Glad that the baby is OK. In this day and age you never know what the real story could be. In the back of my mind I can’t help but think that one possibility, even if remote, is a bad parent who had drugs lying around and is now trying to cast blame elsewhere and make a buck doing it.

This discussion reminds me of this way old thread https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/xrated-magazines.104100/#post-773903

Children stumbling on magazines won't kill them.

I always think the worst. My thought is they used a spoon to crush the pill so they could snort it and the spoon looked clean so it was put away. My thought process makes us clean or at least rinse all utensils we use at a timeshare. Recently, a few of our timeshare stays had us checking in with the dishwasher still running and I kind of like that.

It was not put away - it was under the sink.
