Subject [Nfbnet-members-list] Notice of ADA Website Accessibility Class
Action Settlement: Douglass v. P.C. Richard & Son, LLC, No. 2:22-cv-399
(W.D. Pa.)
Dear Fellow Federationists:
We were notified and asked to distribute the following information
regarding a recent Americans with Disabilities Act settlement. The
settlement requires P.C. Richard & Son, a retailer that sells home goods
and appliances at its online store, to make its website and software
applications nonvisually accessible. If you have any questions, please
email or call East End Trial Group LLC. Their contact information is at
the end of this email.
Warm regards,
John
On March 16, 2023, United States Magistrate Judge Maureen P. Kelly of
the United States District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania preliminarily approved the attached class action settlement
agreement resolving our client's disability discrimination claims
against P.C. Richard & Son, LLC (“P.C. Richard”), a retailer that sells
home goods and appliances at its online store, located at
https://www.pcrichard.com/. You can access the class action settlement
agreement, and other documents and information related to this class
action case, by visiting https://www.PCRichardADAsettlement.com
<https://www.pcrichardadasettlement.com/>.
Our client's lawsuit claimed that P.C. Richard failed to effectively
communicate information at its online store to consumers who use screen
readers, thereby denying these consumers full and equal access to P.C.
Richard’s products and services.
Will you please share the following Notice with your members via email,
social media, or newsletter on or before May 15, 2023? While we believe
the relief described at https://www.PCRichardADAsettlement.com
<https://www.pcrichardadasettlement.com/> is substantial, we want to
make sure all class members (and organizations that advocate for them)
have an opportunity to express their opinion.
Notice of Digital Accessibility Settlement Concerning www.pcrichard.com
A proposed settlement has been reached that would resolve the class
action lawsuit Douglass v. P.C. Richard & Son, LLC, Case No. 2:22-cv-399
(W.D. Pa.). The lawsuit alleges that P.C. Richard violated the Americans
with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101, et seq., by failing to take
the necessary steps to ensure its website and mobile apps do not
discriminate against individuals who are Blind and/or who have a Visual
Disability. Under the settlement, P.C. Richard agrees to make its
website, located at https://www.pcrichard.com/
<https://www.pcrichard.com/>, mobile apps, and any new website or mobile
app it develops or acquires accessible to individuals who are Blind
and/or who have a Visual Disability. For a more complete summary of the
terms of the proposed settlement, please visit

<https://www.pcrichardadasettlement.com/>. Have questions? Contact East
End Trial Group at https://eastendtrialgroup.com

Our office is happy to pay the reasonable costs associated with your
publication of this information.
For additional background, I have attached our client's class action
complaint and the Court's opinion preliminarily approving the
settlement.

additional information.
