A consumer has filed a class action lawsuit against Aelfric Eden, a clothing and apparel company, alleging that its website is not accessible to people with disabilities, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The plaintiff claims that blind or visually impaired individuals cannot fully and independently use the company's website because it lacks the necessary accessibility features required for compatibility with screen-reading software and other assistive technologies. As a result, disabled users are allegedly denied equal access to the products, services, and information available to non-disabled customers. The proposed class would include other blind and visually impaired individuals who have attempted to access Aelfric Eden's website and encountered similar barriers preventing them from shopping or browsing on equal terms with sighted users.
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.
