About this case
A proposed class action filed on July 15 alleges that Lowe's and Greenworks sold certain Kobalt-branded power tools containing lithium-ion batteries that could short-circuit or catch fire when charging through a USB-C port while inserted in the tools, without adequately disclosing the alleged defect. The plaintiffs also challenge the adequacy and timing of the recall and assert claims including unjust enrichment, breach of implied warranties, and violations of California consumer-protection laws; the litigation is ongoing.
