DC Crips Sue Radio Shack
WASHINGTON, DC, DEC. 23, 2003 -- Shoppers with disabilities in our nation's capital sued Radio Shack's DC-area stores Monday, saying that the electronics giant's stores all contain barriers that make it nearly impossible for people in wheelchairs to shop there. Plaintiffs cite "steps that block entrances; aisles so crowded with merchandise and displays that persons in wheelchairs or similar devices cannot move through the stores; and counters and interactive computer and cell phone displays that are placed out of reach or sight of persons in wheelchairs.
