Frangie Espinal, a visually-impaired individual, has filed a class action lawsuit against Scarpa North America Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit alleges that Scarpa’s website is not accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Espinal claims that the website lacks features such as alternative text for images and proper navigation aids, which are necessary for screen-reading software used by visually-impaired individuals. The plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction requiring Scarpa to make its website fully accessible, along with compensatory damages and legal fees.
