Settlement Summary
Amazon, the maker of the widely-used Ring doorbell, has settled a class action lawsuit for an estimated total of $1.8 million. The settlement comes in the wake of allegations that the company failed to disclose the necessity of a paid "Protect Plan" subscription to access integral features of its Ring products such as recording, playback, and snapshots. The class action lawsuit was instigated as it was argued that Amazon's lack of transparency amounted to false advertising, a practice known as 'forced bundling', which seriously diminished the utility of the devices for customers who hadn't subscribed to the plan. The settlement only applies to certain Ring products purchased in California brick-and-mortar stores during specific time frames, with payouts ranging from $3 to $9 depending on the number of products purchased.
