Dec. 12 Trial Date Set in False-Ad Complaint vs. Ring, Home Depot

A jury trial on the false-advertising complaint against Ring and Home Depot is scheduled to begin Dec. 12, said an order signed Friday by U.S. District Judge John Walter for Central California in Los Angeles. The parties anticipate the trial will last four days, said the order. Plaintiff Alison White, a practicing attorney, alleges that Ring and Home Depot misrepresented in their ads and marketing materials that Ring’s Jobsite Security 5-Piece Starter Kit, when properly configured, will contact the authorities automatically if a home's security system is breached (see 2212090048). The Ring and Home Depot defendants deny any wrongdoing.
