A federal judge in California certified a class action lawsuit against Target Corp brought by plaintiffs claiming the discount retailer’s Web site is inaccessible to the blind, according to court documents.

This is an interesting case especially for those of use interested in standards and accessibility.
This could open the box for other suits like it all over the country. I think this case needs to be handled carefully. While I’m all for accessibility I’m also not in favor of mass litigation. If Target falls in this case, who’s next?

Thoughts?
