Can i get sued for calling this new?

We just completely rehabbed a home. Kitchen/bath down to the studs. Home is in Missouri. We were told that we can't call it a "new" kitchen but must use the word newer. Same with like "new" appliances. Etc. Is that true? I would think appliances that have never been turned on and a bathtub that's never been wet would be called new. Am I wrong here?

You can get sued for anything is the short answer but what is there to gain?  Can't you say the kitchen was remodeled 8/15 and list the improvements?  I can't imagine that would get you into trouble.
