    I’m not sure if this is ADA compliant. It might be the reason why we don’t see these very often. I had one of these at work though.

      I can only see wheelchairs being an issue, but you need special toilets and sinks for that anyway. Any foot pedal should be able to be activated with a crutch or prosthetic.

      ADA compliancy is such a BS hurdle sometimes.

      “Hey we made this improvement that will help 99.99% of all people!”

      “What about the remaining 0.01%?”

      “Well, no, unfortunately it won’t work for those edge cases”

      “Ewww… Well it’s not allowed then. If a blind man in a wheelchair with a service dog can’t use it, then no one can!”
