Roosevelt Bradley, Jessica Meyer v. 2XU North America LLC

Summary

According to the complaint, plaintiffs Roosevelt Bradley and Jessica Meyer, both legally blind, are suing 2XU North America LLC for failing to make its digital properties accessible, violating the ADA and New York State Human Rights Law. They allege that they encountered significant barriers while attempting to access the company's website, which prevented them from purchasing products.
