Settlement Documents
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit, Hurd et al. v. G.Skill International et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Class representatives Tristan Hurd and Ken DiMicco sued G.Skill International Enterprise Co., Ltd., G.Skill USA, Inc., Neuteck, Inc., and Racerspeed, Inc., alleging that the companies deceptively advertised and labeled the speed of DDR-4 and DDR-5 DRAM desktop memory products. The plaintiffs claimed they were led to believe that advertised speeds were achievable out of the box without requiring overclocking or BIOS adjustments to their computers.
G.Skill denied all allegations of wrongdoing and maintains that its memory products were appropriately labeled and advertised and performed as represented. The Court has not decided which side is right. Rather than continue litigation, both parties agreed to settle the case to avoid the uncertainties, burdens, and expenses of ongoing litigation. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or liability by G.Skill. If approved by the Court, G.Skill will take commercially reasonable efforts to implement changes to product packaging, website pages, and specifications to clarify that rated speeds require overclocking/BIOS adjustments and depend on system components.
