Mashable • • business
Key Points:
- A class-action lawsuit filed in California alleges that the Oura Ring fitness tracker does not accurately track sleep, as it cannot measure brain electrical activity, eye movements, or muscle tone essential for sleep monitoring.
- The complaint claims Oura's AI models make guesses based on improper inputs, misleading consumers who rely on the device for sleep and health data.
- Plaintiff Madison Surber purchased an Oura Ring 4 Gold for $513.68, believing it provided accurate sleep data, but now joins over 100 class members seeking more than $5 million in damages.
- The lawsuit accuses Oura of fraudulent advertising, unjust enrichment, breach of warranties, and violations of California's consumer protection laws.
- Oura acknowledges in technical materials that it does not track brain or eye activity, but the suit argues the company still claims to measure sleep stages and cycles.
