This reminds me of the reason Five Guys has open containers of peanuts prominently displayed in their stores: they fry in peanut oil. Ironically, peanut oil doesn't have the allergen that triggers most peanut allergies, but explaining that is difficult, so they just went all-in with the free peanuts everywhere branding instead.

Facts like that are completely irrelevant before a judge and jury, so their position is understandable and probably for the best (for them).
