A proposed settlement has been reached that would resolve the class action lawsuit Anthony Hammond Murphy v. Le Sportsac, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:22-cv-58 (W.D. Pa.). The lawsuit alleges that Le Sportsac, Inc. violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101, et seq. by failing to take the necessary steps to ensure that its online store, located here, does not discriminate against consumers who use screen reader auxiliary aids to access digital content. 

Le Sportsac denies the allegations. Under the settlement, Le Sportsac agrees to take additional steps to make all of its websites and any new website it develops or acquires accessible to screen reader users. Because the settlement seeks to resolve all claims for injunctive relief, the Court ordered Hammond Murphy to contact 11 organizations of and for the blind, of which BVA was one mentioned, to request that they notify their members of the proposed settlement.
