Peapod settles charges over website access for disabled customers

Peapod inked a settlement with the Justice Department on Monday that resolved allegations that the online grocer's website violated the Americans with Disabilities Act because it was not accessible to people with vision and hearing issues and other physical disabilities. Under the agreement, Peapod is required to retain an independent website accessibility consultant who will annually evaluate the website and its mobile applications for accessibility and adopt a formal web accessibility policy, among other measures.
