In 2007, attorneys representing blind and visually impaired persons engaged in structured negotiations with RadioShack. On May 1, 2007, the parties entered into a settlement agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement, RadioShack agreed to add keys to its payment devices that a person could feel so that blind people could use payment cards and enter PINs. RadioShack also agreed to make changes to its website in order to make it easier for people with disabilities to use the site.
