Owlet ‘Smart Sock’ Baby Monitor False Ad Case Dismissed for Good

Owlet Baby Care Inc. defeated a proposed class action alleging Smart Sock baby monitors don’t accurately track infants’ vital signs, as a Utah federal court said consumers failed for a second time to show exactly how they were deceived by company marketing.

The smartphone-integrated products use miniaturized pulse oximetry technology to monitor babies’ oxygen saturation and heart rate levels, and are designed to notify parents if those levels fall outside a preset zone. Pulse oximetry measures the oxygen level in the blood. The sensor technology is worn as a “sock” on a sleeping baby’s foot.
