Samsung will be sued for self-destructing laptops

Samsung was sued for breaking laptop displays during the use of which the computer screen may break. This was reported by the Bleeping Computer.

A class action lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey. The plaintiffs complain about the Samsung Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 laptop, which has a defect resulting in device breakdown. It is reported that the device has a hinge, thanks to which it can be folded and transformed into a tablet. However, over time, the hinges that connect the screen and the rest of the device fail and break the display.

The users who filed the lawsuit note that Samsung laptops actually self-destruct after a certain period of time. Outraged consumers are confident that the company knew about the defect, but did not withdraw the unsuccessful model from sale.

Samsung said in a statement that the company usually promptly replaces the defective device or refund the consumer money. The company representatives noted that the breakdown may be due to the fact that users open and close the laptop lid too often or too abruptly.

In October, the Moscow Arbitration Court banned the import and sale of 61 models of Samsung smartphones in Russia. The reason for the ban was the appeal of the Swiss Sqwin SA, which opposed the use of the Samsung Pay payment service in Russia due to the violation of a patent for the technology.
