Home Depot, Menards face lawsuits over lumber size

Menards and Home Depot are accused of deceiving buyers of four-by-four boards.

Lawsuits claim the two home improvement retailers sold lumber advertised as four-by-fours that were actually 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches.

Both suits are seeking class-action status.
