Summary

According to the complaint, Kenneth Henderson, a visually impaired individual, is suing Roam Luggage, Inc. for failing to make its website accessible to blind users, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Henderson alleges that the website, https://www.roamluggage.com, contains significant barriers that prevent him and others from completing transactions independently.
