Case Summary
On January 14, 2021, Windy Lucius filed a Complaint in Florida Federal court against Presidente Supermarkets Mgt., Inc.. Plaintiff Windy Lucius alleges that www.presidentesupermarkets.com is not accessible.
Case Details
Plaintiff alleges issues in its Complaint including the following:
- After activating the accessibility widget and navigating to the sale images, those images are not announced. Only the navigation arrows are announced but the sale images are not. The labels for the "Search Result" field is unclear when announced to the user. Only "Clickable" is announced, providing no context that this field is for the number of search results per page.
- The weekly specials PDF is not accessible to screen reader users which prevents them from hearing the weekly promotions. For example, all 17 store locations are announced as soon as the PDF is opened but they are read out of order so users hear all of the phone numbers announced at once, then the first address from each location is announced and then users hear all of the store names at once so blind users cannot tell which address is connected to which store name or phone number.
- In addition, Tab key navigation is not possible and arrow keys randomly take users to blank elements.
- The weekly promotions page contains multiple ad images but the content in the images are not announced to screen reader users.
- The label for "Search Radius" field is announced as "Clickable 50 Miles" by the screen reader.
- The onscreen label is not associated to this field so it's not announced when users navigate to this element.
