A 39-page proposed class action out of California claims Home Depot unlawfully induced consumers into purchasing wood products represented to be authentic mahogany that, in truth, were another species of wood altogether. The complaint alleges Home Depot intentionally deceived customers about the quality of certain wood products, which the case explains do not “hold the substantial prestige, value, beauty, workability, or quality of authentic mahogany.” According to the lawsuit, consumers seeking to buy true mahogany from Home Depot instead receive eucalyptus, a denser, more difficult-to-work-with wood commonly called swamp mahogany.
