Client Alert: ADA Gift Card Accessibility Lawsuits
Over recent months there has been a wave of new lawsuits filed in New York alleging that the failure of gift cards to contain braille is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), as well as state and city disability laws. Compliance with the ADA has long been the source of concern for many business owners. As most know, the ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the employment context and in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods and services of any place of public accommodation. Examples of public accommodations include restaurants, hotels, retail stores, salons, galleries and spas.Click here to read the alert.December 10 2019
