Could this ammo be useful for non-lethal home defense? Suppose I have a burglar or dealing with a violent disgruntled person, would this ammo stop them without necessarily killing them?

This load is designed for intermediate to mid range (20-40 yds) encounters with larger animals such as Bear, Moose, Elk or Deer. I would not recommend it for non-lethal home defense. Most home defense encounters are up close, and I would not risk a shot that close without fear of a lethal result. This would be a better choice, but even this can be lethal under some circumstances, there are a lot of variables that will come into play >>> budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/711009302/home+defender+hv+star+12+ga+275++5rd+box

Less lethal but not non-lethal. Personally, I cannot imagine a situation where I wouldn't always prefer buckshot in a justified use of a firearm in self defense.

Here's more information I found regarding your question... Lightfield believes ammunition that is safe and effective at close range on humans may be underpowered for large animals at greater ranges. Likewise, loads that are effective at extended ranges may be too powerful for humans at close range. In response to that situation, Lightfield has calibrated its wildlife control line into the following basic classes: Close range 8-25 yards, Mid-range 15-40 yards and Extended range 30+ yard. The Wildlife Control HV-Star is intended for close range defensive use. This load gives shooters an effective option to a lead or copper projectile. This load can be used as a painful warning shot, but can also be lethal under some circumstances. This load will lose most of its effective energy beyond 15 yards. The 1.25″ diameter Star has relatively high velocity but has very low mass. The large flexible design collapses on impact and imparts its available energy across a larger surface area than other projectile types. Some level of injury should be expected and can range from serious injury or death to painful welts or bruising. Results can vary based on the weapon used, distance to target, body weight and part of the body hit.

This should work fine for your intended use. It's meant for wildlife to stop them from coming at you without killing them. It's a star shaped rubber slug. So don't see why it couldn't be used on humans. It's gonna really hurt and stop them from coming at you but doesn't look like it would be lethal. Hope this helps.
