How in the world could this possibly be actionable when Google will refund anyone's money who isn't happy with their phone if they return it within the trial period? And that's not even considering the 2 year warranty!

The mind boggles...

exactly. You get a warranty, you get things fixed, you don't get to sue cuz something didn't work the way you wanted it to. or you return it. You don't go to a restaurant, take the first bite of a steak, tell yourself it's terrible burnt and impossible to eat, finish the entire meal and then tell them you don't want to pay

 

[vansmack]

Because, lawyers.

Add to that the fact that they're including the Pixel 2 for the clicking/whine issue during a call. I don't have it, and it doesn't sound like that many others do either. And the stupid thing is, each person who enters into this class action suit will, if they win, most likely get a single figure payout. The lawyers on the other hand...

At this rate, any little defect is going to end up in a class action lawsuit anytime a phone gets launched, which will drive up the costs of devices more than they already are. And consumers will get a cup of coffee for their troubles.

Lawyers were not allowed to advertise years ago. Never should have allowed that to change. And, yes to driving up costs, as that is exactly what happens.

Well, this doesn't surprise me too much. We live in a time where you can order a hot coffee through a drive-thru, spill the coffee on yourself, and then sue the supplier of the hot coffee that YOU ordered and YOU spilled because the coffee was hot....! Boggles the mind.

In some parts the pronunciation of Lawyer is Liar...

 

[firebirder]

They are just jumping on the bandwagon. They know someone is stupid enough to sign up, actually multiple someone's, and they (the lawyers) will make a killing on a settlement while the consumer with get very little. We live in a society where people try to sue for EVERYTHING. Hell, a lady who spilled coffee (she ordered) on herself got $2.5+ million.

I wish people would know the facts of the story before commenting on it. McDonald's had a history, and there have been hundreds of previous instances in which they were told they had to make changes, they refused to do so, they were serving coffee at a temperature well above what is accepted. This is not a case of the woman getting Millions, just a case of McDonald's not being told what they were supposed to do. Please everybody read up on what the story is really about

 

[mmcclure0453]

I read the story. And while this may not be the best example of a frivolous lawsuit (even though I am wowed by the amount awarded) the fact remains that most people are "sue happy". People will sue for about anything. Suing Google over the Pixel 2 XL is ridiculous! But, as stated by another, people will jump on board.

I have read the story, and it's total BS. Coffee is properly extracted at close to boiling. between 195 and 205 F is the proper temperature for brewing coffee, according to the National Coffee Association and the Specialty Coffee Association of America. Just because that ***** lawyer stated that coffee should be served at 140 degrees F does not make it true, not even a little. I suspect that if you were served coffee at 140 degrees F at a restaurant you would send it back and ask for a hot cup.

Please explain to me your contention that McDonald's served its coffee too hot. How is it possible that people are still repeating that tripe? McDonald's did nothing wrong. It is unfortunate that that woman got burned, but she got burned because of her own stupid actions. Period.

Welcome to the world of lawyers.

They see an issue, they ask owners to speak up so they can sue and earn bucks in legal fees.

 

[Morty2264]

Very odd. I mean, I understand the frustration and of course the inconvenience of customers who have affected devices... But Google will freely give out refunds; and there is now an awesome warranty period on the phone... And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but here goes...

It's just a phone.

Lawsuits should absolutely happen with situations like medications, injury, etc. ... But when it's a phone with a defective screen, I just don't see the point.

Today, November 3rd, 100% of Pixels are still within the return period. This is more than ridiculous.

 

[Golfdriver97]

This shouldn't even be entertained by any judge. The phones are still within return periods. If this say happened after several months and Someone was using second rate panels to repair phones, then yes, I can see this happening.

It has been said already, but this is textbook ambulance chasing. If we get real burn in a couple of months from now and Google refuses to address or concerns, that's one thing, but this is just nonsense

 

[L0n3N1nja]

Because the American legal system and lawsuits have become the joke of the world. I mean seriously, we need to put warnings on cups to warn customers their hot coffee is hot.

This lawsuit shouldn't even go to court, you can't sue because you don't like a phone, you simply return it and buy something else. These legal fees only add to the cost of making and selling phones.
