What is this Settlement About?
You may be part of a new class action settlement reached with Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. over allegations that its in-store payment terminals violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by denying blind or visually impaired individuals private, independent, and equal access to the cash-back feature at checkout.
Specifically, the Home Depot class action lawsuit alleges that Home Depot's in-store payment terminals did not provide private, independent, and equal access to the cash back feature for blind or visually impaired customers as required by the ADA. Home Depot denies liability but has agreed to accessibility improvements nationwide if the Court approves the settlement.
Who Is Included in the Settlement?
Blind or visually impaired individuals in the United States who use or require audio readouts and tactile input on payment terminals, and who have been or may be denied full and equal enjoyment of the cash back feature at Home Depot stores because a terminal lacked an audio readout and tactile keypad or comparable accessible technology.
What Relief or Payment is Provided?
Home Depot will update or replace software for at least one payment terminal in each U.S. store with a cash back feature to enable audio readouts of on-screen prompts and tactile or comparable ADA-compliant input for cash back transactions. Home Depot will train store managers on the updated software. There are no individual cash payments to the class.
