Case details

Summary

According to the complaint, plaintiff Howard Wilson, a visually impaired individual, is suing Cassandra’s Kitchen, LLC for failing to make its website, www.cassandraskitchen.com, accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Wilson alleges that he encountered numerous barriers while attempting to access the website to purchase a Craft Bar Set/Mixologist Cocktail Kit, Gold, which prevented him from completing the transaction.
