False Ad Class Action vs. Amazon Is Transferred to Western Washington

U.S. District Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo for Southern California in San Diego signed an order Monday (docket 3:22-cv-01764) transferring Barbara Brittain and Linda Dial's false advertising class action against Amazon to the Western District of Washington. All the parties stipulated to the transfer Friday (see 2303200007). The transfer is “for the convenience of parties and witnesses, and in the interest of justice,” said Bencivengo’s order. Brittain and Dial allege Amazon routinely “misrepresents” the benefits of Prime memberships when it advertises products available for free shipping in one or two days but in reality keeps members waiting substantially longer.
