I have to admit, it's pretty strange that they write "4 in. x 4 in." in the title. I'd get it if the call it a "4x4" since that has a colloquial industry usage, but to actually write "4 in. x 4 in." is confusing because they are not actually 4 inches by 4 inches.
My thought is that there is no way in hell that HD or Menards would settle in this case. Why would they? It is common knowledge that these wood sizes are not the exact measurement. If you don't know this, you have no business being the lumber section of any store.
The sad thing is that Lowes settled with these shysters

you have a link to this? I would like to read about it. I'm curious on what the settled on. It isn't like Lowes now carries actual 2x4s measured out to 2"x4".
edit... I found it. Should have known it came from that crapstain of a state called California. I wonder if this current lawyer is from California.

They paid the plaintiff's lawyers more than a million in settlement and agree to add fine print to the item descriptions of the exact measurements.
They don't want to change the actual dimensions because everything else is already designed around the current actual dimensions.
A 2X4 is actually 1.75X3.5, they have been that way for decades, everyone in the building trades knows this.
I never knew this. So I have an excuse because I'm not in the building trade. Why is a 2x4 called a 2x4? Can't they just cut it that size? Maybe they only use certain trees that grow 2 inches thick?
I now have to tell my attorney to forget the lawsuit I wanted to file against the nut company. I bought a box of 100 calorie almonds. On the outside of the box, it said 7 packs. When I opened the box, it only had 6.
So, a 2x4 is not a 2x4. A 7 pack is not a 7 pack. It's actually a 6-pack!
