February 7, 2006, 12:58 pm Target Sued By National Federation of the Blind Posted by Peter Lattman According to a press release issued by the plaintiffs, the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) filed a lawsuit today in California state court against discount retailer Target Corp. The suit charges that Target’s Web site is inaccessible to the blind, violating California civil rights and disability law. The plaintiffs, represented by Disability Rights Advocates, a Berkeley-based non-profit law firm; Schneider & Wallace in San Francisco; and Brown, Goldstein & Levy in Baltimore, charge that Target.com fails to meet the minimum standards of Web accessibility. The suit charges that the site lacks, for instance, compliant alt-text, an invisible code embedded beneath graphics that allows blind users to decipher images. The suit also contends that because the Web site requires the use of a mouse to complete a transaction, blind customers are unable to make purchases on their own. A Target spokesperson told the Law Blog the company had not seen or received the lawsuit and therefore would not comment on it. WSJ.com on law and business and the business of law.
