Lopez v. Brumate, LLC

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Brumate, a company that sells insulated drinkware and beverage accessories, alleging that its website is not accessible to people with visual disabilities who rely on screen readers and other assistive technologies to navigate the internet. The plaintiffs claim that Brumate's website contains barriers that prevent blind and visually impaired users from independently browsing products, making purchases, and enjoying the same shopping experience available to sighted customers. This allegedly violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires places of public accommodation to be accessible to people with disabilities. The proposed class includes blind and visually impaired individuals across the country who attempted to use Brumate's website but were unable to do so fully because of these accessibility barriers.
