Retail Defective Products False Advertising Fraud

A California consumer’s proposed class action against Behr Process Corp., The Home Depot, Inc. and three other companies alleges their DeckOver resurfacing and restoration product does not live up to claims about its durability. The lawsuit, which echoes allegations made in a complaint filed last month, claims DeckOver, sold exclusively at Home Depot and marketed as a superior (albeit pricier) alternative to traditional paints and stains, deteriorates within months of application, causing extensive damage to any surface to which it’s applied. From the lawsuit:

“Instead of serving as a premium option for reducing maintenance work, while improving the look, performance, and durability of decks, patios, and outdoor surfaces, DeckOver actually causes consumers to waste considerable time and money. Consumers are induced by [the defendants’] false representations into purchasing DeckOver at a premium price, only to apply it, and thereafter have to remove it and replace damaged property as a consequence of its performing worse than cheaper options.”
