Young v. Strideline, LLC
A consumer is suing Strideline, a sock and apparel company, alleging that its website is not accessible to people with disabilities, specifically those who are blind or visually impaired and rely on screen-reading software to navigate the internet. The plaintiff claims that Strideline's website contains barriers that prevent screen readers from functioning properly, making it impossible for visually impaired users to independently browse products, access information, and complete purchases in the same way that sighted customers can. This alleged failure is said to violate the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires places of public accommodation to be accessible to people with disabilities. The proposed class would include all visually impaired individuals in the United States who have attempted to use Strideline's website and were denied full and equal access.
Young v. Zoogue, Inc.
