Samsung Chef Collection Refrigerator Blue Drawer Finish Peeling Off
Samsung Electronics Fingerprint-Resistant Class Action Overview:
- Who: A woman who bought a Samsung fridge, rangehood and dishwasher is suing the company.
- Why: Plaintiff Paula Murray says the products were marketed as being "fingerprint-resistant" with "black stainless steel;" however, she claims the product is in fact regular stainless steel with a black coating that peels off.
- Where: She's looking to represent a nationwide class of consumers.
Samsung sells kitchen appliances with a cheap coating that flakes off within a matter of months, leaving customers with an "unsightly patchwork" in their homes, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiff Paula Murray filed the class action complaint against Samsung Electronics America, Inc. Oct. 22, 2021, in a California federal court.
She's looking to represent anyone in the United States who bought kitchen appliances sold under the Samsung brand name as "fingerprint-resistant" with "black stainless steel."
According to her lawsuit, Samsung fails to disclose the "critically important information that its so-called black stainless steel is regular stainless steel with a cheap coating that in a matter of months flakes off, leaving consumers with an unsightly patchwork of regular stainless steel against the yet-to-peel-off black stainless steel."
She says, as a result, Samsung charges consumers a premium for the black stainless steel appliances as compared with regular stainless steel.
Murray is suing for breach of warranty, fraudulent concealment, unfair competition and breaches of state consumer laws.
Black Stainless Steel Should Be Useful For Life Of Appliance, Lawsuit Says
According to the lawsuit, "black stainless steel" is understood by reasonable consumers to describe a permanent characteristic of the appliance: that it will be black stainless steel for the useful life of the appliances.
"No reasonable consumer would have purchased the appliances, much less paid a premium for them if Samsung had disclosed to them that in a matter of months their 'black stainless steel' appliances would be a patchy, inconsistent color," she says.
She adds that Samsung has known of these defects before it started to market its "fingerprint-resistant" and "black stainless steel" kitchen appliances and has received numerous consumer complaints since they went to market. Despite this, she says Samsung continues to sell the products.
Murray is seeking certification of the class action, damages, interest, fees, costs, an order preventing Samsung from continuing with the alleged marketing and a jury trial.
Meanwhile, Samsung is also fighting a class action lawsuit alleging it sold Chromebook Plus portable computers with a known display hinge defect.
