ZO Skin Health Sued for Discrimination Against Visually Impaired Individuals
Imagine not being able to access a website because of a disability. For visually impaired individuals, this is a harsh reality when it comes to ZO Skin Health's website, zoskinhealth.com. Tonimarie Rhone, a visually impaired individual, has filed a class action lawsuit against ZO Skin Health, alleging that their website is inaccessible to blind and visually impaired people, in clear violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Background
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities, including blind and visually impaired individuals. This means that all public websites must be accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use screen readers or other assistive technologies to access the internet.
ZO Skin Health's Inaccessible Website
ZO Skin Health's website, zoskinhealth.com, is not accessible to visually impaired individuals, according to the class action lawsuit filed by Tonimarie Rhone. The website lacks the necessary features to accommodate blind and visually impaired users, such as alt-text for images, accessible menus, and keyboard-navigable drop-down menus. This means that individuals who rely on screen readers or other assistive technologies cannot effectively navigate the website or access ZO Skin Health's products and services.
How ZO Skin Health's Inaccessible Website Affects Consumers
ZO Skin Health's inaccessible website not only violates the ADA, but it also denies blind and visually impaired individuals the opportunity to access their products and services. This can have a significant impact on the daily lives of visually impaired individuals who rely on the internet to shop, access information, and connect with others.

The lack of accessibility on ZO Skin Health's website can also have negative economic consequences for blind and visually impaired individuals. Without access to the website, they cannot take advantage of promotions, discounts, or other special offers that are available to sighted individuals. This can put them at a significant disadvantage, particularly in a society where online shopping is becoming increasingly prevalent.
The Lawsuit
Tonimarie Rhone's class action lawsuit seeks to hold ZO Skin Health accountable for their failure to provide an accessible website. The lawsuit argues that ZO Skin Health violated the ADA by denying blind and visually impaired individuals access to their products and services. Rhone is seeking a court order requiring ZO Skin Health to modify their website to make it accessible to blind and visually impaired individuals, along with compensation for affected users.
The Importance of Accessibility
The internet has become an essential part of our daily lives, and it is essential that all websites are accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. The ADA requires that all public websites be accessible to people with disabilities, including blind and visually impaired individuals. It is not only a legal requirement, but it is also a matter of basic human dignity.
Accessibility is not just about meeting legal requirements; it is about creating a society that values and includes everyone. When websites are inaccessible, they send a message to blind and visually impaired individuals that they are not valued or included. This can have a significant impact on their mental health and well-being, as well as their ability to participate fully in society.
Conclusion
ZO Skin Health's inaccessible website is a clear violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and denies blind and visually impaired individuals the opportunity to access their products and services. The class action lawsuit filed by Tonimarie Rhone seeks to hold ZO Skin Health accountable for their failure to provide an accessible website and to ensure that blind and visually impaired individuals have equal access to their products and services.
