The lawsuit, filed Thursday in California, alleges Oura’s sleep-stage estimates are no better than a coin flip despite claims of 95% accuracy
A proposed class action lawsuit says the popular smart ring company is falsely advertising its products.
Oura rings oversell their ability to track a wearer’s sleep, a new class-action lawsuit alleges.
A proposed class action lawsuit is accusing smart ring maker Oura of deceiving consumers about the accuracy of its sleep tracking features.
The lawsuit, filed on Thursday by Clarkson Law Firm in San Francisco, alleges that Oura rings are unable to measure any of the physiological signals needed to assess sleep quality or determine sleep stages, and that they instead rely on AI-generated estimates that have “a coin flip’s chance of being correct,” according to the complaint.
A new class action lawsuit demands Oura change its marketing claims about sleep tracking and compensate users accordingly.
A lawsuit has been filed against the well-known smart ring brand Oura, alleging the company used false advertising by deceiving users about the accuracy of its AI-generated sleep tracking. The suit, filed Thursday by Clarkson Law Firm in San Francisco, seeks class action status and a jury trial.
Oura falsely advertised its tracking rings as able to track the quality of the wearer’s sleep cycles, a proposed class action alleged Thursday.
These products aren’t designed for user control and privacy,” said Ryan Clarkson, managing partner of Clarkson Law Firm, which filed the suit. “In my opinion, they’re designed to maximise profits, and to turn every person who buys one into a Trojan horse of surveillance.”
Members of the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan have asked a California federal court for final approval of a $950,000 class action settlement resolving claims that a 2024 data breach exposed the personal and medical information of approximately 94,000 plan members.
