Cazares v. Blinds To Go US Inc

What this case is about

A consumer is suing Blinds To Go, a retailer that sells window blinds and shades, alleging that the company's website is not accessible to people with disabilities, particularly those who are blind or visually impaired and rely on screen reader software to navigate the internet. The plaintiff claims that the website contains barriers that prevent disabled users from independently browsing products, obtaining pricing information, and completing purchases in the same way that non-disabled customers can. This alleged failure is said to violate the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires places of public accommodation to be accessible to people with disabilities. The proposed class would include other visually impaired individuals who attempted to use the Blinds To Go website and encountered similar accessibility barriers.
