Lopez v. Blackstone Products

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Blackstone Products, a company known for making outdoor griddles and cooking equipment, alleging that the company has violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The plaintiffs claim that Blackstone has failed to make its products, services, or digital platforms accessible to people with disabilities, preventing them from fully using or purchasing the company's offerings on equal terms with non-disabled customers. The lawsuit was filed as a federal civil rights case and seeks to represent a class of disabled individuals who were similarly denied equal access. The proposed class likely includes customers with physical or other qualifying disabilities who attempted to interact with Blackstone's products or services and encountered barriers that excluded or disadvantaged them compared to the general public.
