Tracey Sinkovic, Karen Clayton v. Growve Group, LLC
Filed
Case details
Summary
According to the complaint, plaintiffs Tracey Sinkovic and Karen Clayton, both legally blind, allege that Growve Group, LLC's website, SMNutrition, is not accessible to individuals with visual disabilities, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). They encountered significant barriers while attempting to purchase products online, which prevented them from accessing essential information and services. The plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction requiring the defendant to implement changes to ensure accessibility, along with a declaratory judgment, costs, and attorneys' fees. They argue that the defendant's failure to provide an accessible digital platform denies them equal enjoyment of its services and products.
