Case Information
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Case Name | Madison Surber v. Oura Inc., Oura Health Oy d/b/a Ouraring Inc., and subsidiaries[1] |
| Court | U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California[1] |
| Docket | 3:26-cv-08686[1] |
| Filed | August 20, 2026[1] |
| Plaintiff | Madison Surber, individually and on behalf of proposed classes[1] |
| Defendants | Oura Inc.; Oura Health Oy d/b/a Ouraring Inc.; and subsidiaries[1] |
| Claims | Fraud; unjust enrichment; California Unfair Competition Law; California False Advertising Law; California Consumers Legal Remedies Act; breach of express warranty; breach of implied warranty[1] |
| Status | Pending[1] |
Background
Surber alleges that she bought an Oura Ring 4 after seeing marketing representations that the product could accurately track sleep stages.[1] The complaint alleges that Oura rings do not directly measure brain activity, eye movement, or muscle tone and instead use machine-learning algorithms to infer sleep stages from peripheral physiological signals.[1]
The complaint challenges claims that Oura products provide “79% agreement” with polysomnography and “95% Sleep Staging Accuracy” compared with a clinical sleep lab.[1] Oura told TechCrunch that independent research supports its accuracy claims, emphasized that its product is not a medical device or substitute for a clinical sleep study, and said it would defend the case.[2]
Claims
The complaint asserts nationwide fraud and unjust-enrichment claims and California claims under the Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Commercial Code, and Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.[1] It seeks class certification, an order stopping the challenged marketing, damages, restitution, disgorgement, penalties, and other relief.[1]
Procedural History
Surber filed the complaint and demanded a jury trial on August 20, 2026.[1]
Significance
The case presents a consumer-protection challenge to quantified accuracy claims for AI-generated health inferences produced by a wearable device.[1]
