which was supposed to be dairy-free.<\/p>\n<p>The company said it was mis-sold a guaranteed dairy-free yoghurt, which contained dairy protein. <\/p>\n<p>The case follows the inquest into the death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-london-45617845\" class=\"story-body__link\">went into cardiac arrest after eating a Pret baguette in 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The second customer died on December 27 last year after buying the sandwich from a store in Stall Street, Bath.<\/p>\n<p>Pret said the yoghurt in the product was supplied by Coyo, a coconut milk brand which is stocked in shops and supermarkets across the UK.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"story-body__unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"story-body__list-item\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-45639546\" class=\"story-body__link\">Can lessons be learned from Pret baguette death?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"story-body__list-item\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/health-45671590\" class=\"story-body__link\">&#8216;People can die&#8217;
