Belkin Wants Power Bank Plaintiff to Turn Over His Samsung Phone for Testing

Plaintiff Dennis Gromov may file a response by the close of business Friday to defendant Belkin’s April 26 motion to enforce the court’s Feb. 28 order that Gromov turn over to Belkin for testing the Samsung phone he used in generating his fraud allegations, said a clerk’s docket entry Tuesday (docket 1:22-cv-06918) in U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois in Chicago. The court isn't ordering a Belkin reply, it said. The company contends that Gromov is dragging his feet on the testing order in an attempt to avoid discovery. The plaintiff’s class action alleges that Belkin advertised power banks for mobile devices in a deceptive manner, and that the chargers don’t deliver nearly the amount of power promised in those ads (see 2301300008).
