Espinal v. Pervine Foods, LLC

What this case is about

This lawsuit alleges that Pervine Foods failed to make its website and online services accessible to people with disabilities, specifically those who are blind or have low vision and rely on screen-reader software to navigate the internet. The plaintiff, who has a visual impairment, claims that the company's website contains barriers that prevent disabled users from independently browsing products, completing purchases, and accessing the same information available to sighted customers. This is alleged to be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The proposed class would include all people with visual disabilities in the United States who attempted to use the Pervine Foods website and encountered these accessibility barriers.
