Class Action Lawsuit brought against Target
Corporation
A lawsuit has been brought forth against Target
Corporation's Target.com
website. In the lawsuit, Plaintiffs allege that
Target.com has, during the period of time
covered by the lawsuit, failed to contain
features needed by blind customers who use
screen access software to access websites.
Plaintiffs allege that U.S. and California law
require websites such as Target.com to be
accessible to the blind.
Target disputes this
and alleges that it has not violated any federal
or state laws relating to its website.
