Google Pixel class action lawsuit overview: 

  • Who: Jennifer Hyatt filed a class action lawsuit against Google. 
  • Why: Hyatt claims Google sold Pixel 6 Pro cellphones containing a defect that causes them to overheat to the point that they become too hot hold. 
  • Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in California.

Google Pixel Pro 6 phones contain a defect that causes them to overheat so much that they become too hot to hold, a new class action lawsuit alleges. 

Plaintiff Jennifer Hyatt’s class action lawsuit claims she has gone through “numerous” replacement Google Pixel Pro 6 cellphones but found each one to contain the alleged overheating defect, according to Law360. 

Hyatt argues Google is aware of the alleged defect, as shown by the company having a webpage allegedly titled “Help keep your Pixel phone from feeling too warm or hot.”

Despite this, Google failed to warn consumers that the Pixel Pro 6 cellphone is allegedly prone to overheating and, instead, continued advertising the devices as if nothing was wrong with them, the class action alleges. 

Hyatt wants to represent a California class of consumers who purchased a Pixel Pro 6 device in the state, Law360 reports. 

Class action says Google should have to recall Pixel 6 Pro, issue refunds

The class action argues the company should be ordered to create an advertisement alerting consumers to the alleged Pixel Pro 6 defect, recall the cellphones and issue refunds to consumers who purchased them. 

The lawsuit claims Google is guilty of negligent and intentional misrepresentation and of violating California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law, Unfair Competition Law and Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, according to Law360. 

A plaintiff filed a separate class action lawsuit against Google in February 2023 over claims the company falsely advertised the charging capabilities of its Pixel 6 cellphones.

    I wish this would expand to New York State. I have been having ongoing issues with my 6 pro overheating and when I reached out to Google they couldn’t care less. They pretty much told me that they can find me a repair place that I can pay to get it fixed and would not back their products at all knowing that they have previous models that that have battery issues.

  2. Raymond Brookter says:

    I wish this would expand to all 50 states. AT&T has been unreasonable in their challenge to my assertions from October 2022 until June 2023 that their Google Pixel 6 and 6a were overheating, and they are still trying to recover money after the purchase of three of the phones. You’ve got a case!!
