The plaintiff, Benavides Moran, is suing Morinaga America, a food and candy company, under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The lawsuit alleges that Morinaga America has failed to make its website or digital platforms fully accessible to people with disabilities, particularly those who are blind or visually impaired and rely on screen-reading software to navigate online content. The plaintiff claims that barriers on the company's website prevent disabled users from having equal access to the products, services, and information that non-disabled customers can easily obtain. The proposed class would likely include all individuals with visual or other disabilities who have been unable to fully use or access Morinaga America's website due to these alleged accessibility failures.
The case is in its earliest stage. The defendant has not yet responded. Class certification — the court's decision on whether the case can proceed as a class action — typically takes 12 to 24 months after filing.
