Candy shop I Love Sugar hit with lawsuit
A lawsuit filed Jan. 31 in the Middle District of Florida alleges a Daytona candy retailer’s websites are not accessible to blind and visually impaired customers, allegedly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The plaintiff Jonathan Drummond, a Volusia County resident who is blind due to optic nerve atrophy caused by retinoblastoma — a rare eye cancer — claims he was unable to use I Love Sugar Inc. and I Love Sugar Daytona LLC’s website because it is not compatible with screen reader software and keyboards.
According to court records, I Love Sugar has not retained legal counsel yet.
I Love Sugar has an ecommerce website so shoppers can access the company’s vast array of candy even if they can’t make it to one of its four brick-and-mortar stores.
