Introduction

Epson America, a leading manufacturer of projectors, has won a lawsuit against Amazon seller AuKing for making false and misleading claims about the brightness of its projectors. The court ordered AuKing to pay $500,000 in damages and enjoined the company from selling its projectors online until it corrects its advertising.

Epson Sues AuKing for False Projector Brightness Claims

In a lawsuit filed in 2023, Epson accused AuKing of falsely advertising the brightness of its projectors. Epson claimed that AuKing's projectors were actually much dimmer than advertised, and that this was misleading consumers.

Court Orders AuKing to Pay $500,000 in Damages

The court found in favor of Epson and ordered AuKing to pay $500,000 in damages. The court also enjoined AuKing from selling its projectors online until it corrects its advertising.

AuKing Enjoined from Selling Projectors Online

The court's injunction prevents AuKing from selling its projectors online until the company corrects its advertising. This means that AuKing cannot sell its projectors on Amazon or any other online marketplace.

Epson Warns Consumers About Misleading Projector Metrics

Epson took the opportunity to warn consumers about misleading projector metrics. The company said that consumers should be wary of metrics such as "Lux," "LED lumens," "CVIA," or "Lamp Brightness" that do not follow standardized methodology. Epson said that these metrics can be misleading and make it difficult for consumers to compare projector performance.

Conclusion

The lawsuit against AuKing is a victory for Epson and for consumers. It shows that companies cannot get away with making false and misleading claims about their products. Consumers should be aware of the risks of buying projectors from unknown brands and should be sure to do their research before making a purchase.
