Google Pixel Settlement

The defendant and certain resellers sold the first-generation Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones in the United States. The plaintiffs brought a products liability lawsuit against the defendant, alleging that some of these Pixels have a defect that leads to microphone or speaker failures. The defendant denies that any Pixel or Pixel XL is defective and denies that it has any liability to plaintiffs.

The Court did not decide in favor of plaintiffs or defendant. Instead, both sides agreed to a settlement. That way, they avoid the costs and risks of a trial, and class members get benefits or compensation. The class representatives and their attorneys think the settlement is best for the class.

Who’s Eligible?

You are a class member, and are included in the Settlement, if you are in the United States and bought, other than for resale, a new Pixel or Pixel XL smartphone manufactured before January 4, 2017 and did not receive a replacement Pixel manufactured after January 3, 2017 or refurbished after June 5, 2017.

Excluded from the Settlement Class are (a) Google and its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, and affiliates; (b) all judges assigned to this case and any members of their immediate families; (c) the parties’ counsel in this litigation.

What Products Are Included?

First-generation Google Pixel or Pixel XL

How Much Do I Get?

The defendant will pay $7,250,000 into a Settlement Fund. After deduction of the costs of notice and settlement administration, any award of attorneys’ fees (up to 30% of the Settlement Fund), litigation costs, and any service awards for the class representatives, the Settlement Fund will be distributed to class members who submit valid claims.

Third, people who experienced the alleged audio defect on more than one Pixel will be paid $500 each.
