Case Summary
On January 25, 2021, Windy Lucius filed a Complaint in Florida Federal court against Pandora Jewelry LLC. Plaintiff Windy Lucius alleges that us.pandora.net is not accessible.
Case Details
Plaintiff alleges issues in its Complaint including the following:
- the size options, shown in the “Select a Size” section do not announce the correct label or role. For example, when a user navigates to the 6.3 button, they do not hear the onscreen text label to let them know they are in the Select a Size
section nor do they hear that a button is available. Instead, they only hear "6.3 link." - Form errors are not announced to screen reader users when they are displayed onscreen.
- The close button in the after pay popup on the shopping bag page is not labeled. Screen reader users only hear "clickable." Users will become trapped in this window unless they know that the unlabeled button is actually the exit button. Users are presented with multiple financing offers on each product page such as Afterpay. The Afterpay link spawns a pop-up window, but the content in this pop-up is not
accessible. Users only hear that an Afterpay graphic is present, but they do not hear any information for the content in the image. - Error suggestions are shown onscreen but they are not
announced when displayed.
