The alleged deception: Menards and Home Depot (HD) market and sell the hefty lumber as four-by-fours without specifying that the boards actually measure 3½ inches by 3½ inches.

It has been this way forever.

I thought that was common knowledge. A 2x4 isn't actually 2x4.

there are usually the actual dimensions stamped on the price tag at the bottom.
Posted on 6/22/17 at 11:52 am to LanierSpots
Lol. Don't forget every lumber yard that sells dimensional lumber. 2x4s aren't really 2 inches by 4 inches.

well every lumber company on the planet will be sued, no lumber measures what its advertised
Posted on 6/22/17 at 11:52 am to LanierSpots
No way this is real.

It's called rounding up

would you also like to sue the brick manufacturers for making the brick 7 5/8" instead of 8" to account for the mortar joint?

I mean...aren't they?
I understand common industry standards don't require it to be actually 4" by 4", but if you're advertising it as such...

I have been doing that all my life.

There's a difference between nominal and actual? WTF?
Posted on 6/22/17 at 11:54 am to LanierSpots
Yeah they gonna win that one.

Holy shite this is retarded. Some jackoff who wants to get paid is all this is.
Contractors and builders know a 4x4 isn't actually 4x4. I hope they have to pay court costs for filing this bullshite.

It is milled down by machines and acceptable by either southern pine inspection bureau if Southern Pine or by its industry that regulates wood. Spruce also has acceptable spec's.

This has only been going on for about 30 years or more

As Turin described it, all three men in the lawsuits wanted the lumber for home-improvement projects, got home and measured the pieces, felt they had been deceived and then turned to the law firm.
My guess is, these 3 guys have never built one thing in their entire life
