Controversy change

In 2014, a former employee, Stanley Kieffer, of CPR Restoration & Cleaning filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against his employer companies, CPR LLC and CPR, Inc., claiming that alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA), the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and Pennsylvania state law.[4] Kieffer claimed that he was wrongfully terminated after requesting accommodations for his disabilities and filing a Charge of Discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.[5]

The suit ended with the court granting summary judgment in favor of CPR. The court found that Kieffer did not meet the criteria for protection under the FMLA, and he was not considered a "qualified individual" under the ADA. The court also ruled that Kieffer's requested leave was not a reasonable accommodation, and his retaliation claims lacked sufficient evidence. The decision was made on unspecified dates in 2018, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's judgment.[5]
