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 have had 2 pixel 6 pros that had overheating issues. I currently have one that won’t turn on and Google wants me to use the insurance rather than them replacing it. It stopped working due to no fault of mine, but due to it overheating.
I am interested in participating in class action lawsuit but I purchased my phone in Texas. Any filings here?
Add me please.
I would like to know what happens with the lawsuit. Does this apply to other states?
Please add me
I bought one online but reside in Virginia. Mine turned out to be a 1k paperweight as it stopped working in my hands one day minutes after I took it off the charger. Doesnt even vibrate when charging like it is supposed to so I think the main board is fried.
I have a Pixel 6 Pro which overheats a lot. Bought in California when I was living there.
I have the pixel 7 pro which I know is not the 6 pro, but it’s having similar issues.. I am on my fifth p7pro in about a year. I got my first one in December of 2022 and every 3 months had to replace it. They would all over heat really bad, but 3 of them overheated and then the screen would start flickering so badly that they weren’t usable. This one and the second one I got like to over heat to the point of not being able to charge. I rely on my phones heavily to get work done. I need to have 4-5 apps running to get work done and have not had these problems with previous phones. I am living in Montana, both Google and Verizon won’t let me switch to a different brand of phone by buying me out and are only giving me phones that have 3 month warrantys on them instead of the full year I should have because the phone is being replaced so often. I just ran out of my 3 month warranty on this fifth one and I’m worried that I’m going to be stuck with a useless $1000 paperweight when this one breaks. :(
