Google accused of selling ‘Too Hot to Handle’ Pixel 6 Pro in lawsuit
Google is accused of selling defective Pixel 6 Pro units, which made it too hot to handle. Interestingly, the complainant claims that Google was aware of the defect in the Pixel 6 Pro, which led it to overheat.
Law360 reports that Jennifer Hyatt filed a class action lawsuit against Google over the Pixel 6 Pro. The suer went through “numerous” replacement Pixel 6 Pro units only to discover that each one had an overheating defect.

Unlike the basic/personal complaints, the plaintiff wants Google to create an ad, informing Pixel 6 Pro buyers about overheating. Also, the company should be required to recall and issue a refund to people who bought the device.
To be noted, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are the first smartphones launched by Google, equipped with Tensor chipset. Previous Pixel devices like Pixel 5 were equipped with Snapdragon processors which are a mature tech product now.
If the lawsuit goes forward, it will claim that Google violates California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law, Unfair Competition Law, and the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.
