SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — Officials in the Bureau of Weights and Measures here charged Lowe’s with consumer fraud over the real dimensions of its 2x4s, in what The Motley Fool characterized as part of a “rising wave of frivolous lawsuits.” According to a Lowe’s statement, the complaint arose after local weights and measures department inspectors visited Lowe’s stores and found that its dimensional lumber was “under-sized.”
