Parties Ask for Deadline Extension in False-Ad Class Action vs. Ring

The plaintiffs and defendants in the false advertising complaint against Ring agreed in a joint stipulation Wednesday (docket 2:22-cv-06909) to extend by six weeks to Jan. 5 the defendants’ deadline to answer the complaint. Plaintiff Alison White in her Sept. 23 class action in U.S. District Court for Central California in Los Angeles alleges that the packaging, ads and marketing materials associated with Ring’s $399 Jobsite Security 5-Piece Starter Kit falsely represent to consumers that the kit, when used in conjunction with an internet connection and Ring’s Pro Subscription with “24/7 professional monitoring” will automatically call authorities when their motion sensors have been detected (see 2210090005). Defendants Ring, its Amazon parent and Home Depot expect to answer the complaint with a motion to compel arbitration, or alternatively, a motion to dismiss, said the stipulation. White’s motion for class certification would be due 90 days after the court rules on the motion to compel arbitration or for dismissal, said the stipulation.
