Why is there a class action lawsuit settlement?

This class action lawsuit was filed because the plaintiff alleged that Fashion Nova’s website was not accessible to legally blind individuals using screen reading software, which denied them equal access to information and services. Fashion Nova denies all allegations but agreed to settle to avoid the expense and risk of a possible trial.

In addition to monetary compensation to California class members, the settlement requires Fashion Nova to improve website accessibility.
