Judge Dismisses Class Action Over Dimensional Lumber Measurements

(October 13, 2017, 4:33 PM EDT) -- CHICAGO — A federal judge in Illinois on Sept. 29 dismissed with prejudice a class action claiming that the home improvement store Menard Inc. violated the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act (ICFA) when selling dimensional lumber that was not the size listed on the label, finding that while the plaintiffs had standing, the labels were not misleading because they do not have inch-mark symbols (Michael Fuchs, et al. v. Menard, Inc., No. 17-01752, N.D. Ill., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 160336)....
