Out of Sight

(Fox News) - A federal judge in San Francisco has given class action status to a lawsuit against the retailer Target Stores, by blind people who say the company's Web site is inaccessible to them. The plaintiffs claim the Target site violates federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination against the disabled.

It may not be immediately clear exactly how a Web site — which is displayed on a computer screen — is supposed to reach the blind. But a spokesman with the National Federation for the Blind says Target refused to make minor technical adjustments enabling blind people with specialized software to access its site.

Target tells FOX News an internal e-mail from the federation confirms the usability of its Web site now.
