The article suggest he didn't see the name of the product. The wrapper had no label.

How did they know it was a nutty bar if it had no label?
Because they know the box where the individually wrapped bars came from. The bars were away from the box. The kid never saw the original box. Also, are there no candies you can recognize even without a label?

No one is arguying the fact that the kid should have been more careful. But when one is allergic to something as mundane as nuts, such oversights are bound to happen. The kid's reaction suggest that not only he is no stranger to such occurences, he underestimated the severity of the situation.

In their grief, the parents simply wish there were a label on the candy wrapper.

This is an unfortunate and tragic accident.
