HP Opts to Defend Faulty Trackpad Class Action Before a District Judge

HP declines to defend the Omen laptop fraud class action before a magistrate judge, said its declination form Tuesday (docket 4:23-cv-02114) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. Plaintiff Justin Davis alleges the trackpads on HP’s Omen line of laptops are so defective that the computers are “rendered completely unusable” unless users buy an external mouse to navigate the screen (see 2305030038).
