Roku, TCL face class action over software updates that allegedly 'brick' smart TVs
See Details
Proof Required?
A new class action lawsuit has been filed against Roku and TCL North America, alleging that software updates are causing smart TVs to become completely unusable or "bricked." The lawsuit claims these companies are responsible for selling televisions with defective software that renders the devices inoperable after updates.
If you own a Roku TV or TCL smart TV that stopped working or became unusable after a software update, you may be entitled to compensation through this lawsuit. The legal action seeks damages for consumers who purchased these televisions expecting them to work properly throughout their expected lifespan.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You purchased a Roku-branded smart TV or TCL smart TV
- Your TV became unusable, unresponsive, or "bricked" after a software update
- The TV malfunction occurred due to a software update from Roku or TCL
- You experienced this issue within a reasonable timeframe after purchase
How Much Can You Get?
The lawsuit is still in early stages, so specific compensation amounts have not been determined yet. Potential damages could include refunds for the cost of the television, replacement devices, or repairs. The final settlement amount will depend on the outcome of the legal proceedings and the number of affected consumers who participate in the case.
