An Illinois man has sought to nail one of the largest home improvement retailers in the country with a class action lawsuit, asserting they should be made to pay for selling two-by-fours and other pieces of lumber that don’t measure up to their listed dimensions.
On March 8, plaintiff Mikhail Abramov filed his complaint in Chicago federal court against The Home Depot, asserting the way the Atlanta, Ga.-based retailer sells lumber is not just an open secret in the construction trades, but a violation of consumer fraud laws.
