Calcano v. Shedrain Corporation

What this case is about

The plaintiff, Calcano, filed a class action lawsuit against Shedrain Corporation, a company known for making umbrellas and rain gear. The lawsuit alleges that Shedrain failed to make its website and products accessible to individuals with disabilities, specifically those who are blind or visually impaired, in violation of accessibility laws. The plaintiff claims that Shedrain's online store was not compatible with screen-reading software used by blind consumers, making it impossible for them to browse and purchase products on equal footing with sighted customers. The proposed class would include blind and visually impaired individuals who attempted to access Shedrain's website and were denied full and equal access to its goods and services.
