Hyatt believes that Google knew about the defect, and points to an article titled “Help keep your Pixel phone from feeling too warm or hot” on the company’s website as proof. The plaintiff says that despite being aware of the defect, Google did not warn consumers that the Pixel 6 Pro had a tendency to overheat and marketed it as though nothing was wrong with the device.
Hyatt wants to represent Californian consumers who bought the Pixel 6 Pro in the state. The lawsuit states that Google is guilty of violating California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law, Unfair Competition Law, and Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.
It remains to be seen whether the lawsuit will go to trial or be dismissed by the court.
