KGG Investigating Defects in Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 Computers
Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C. is currently investigating a possible putative class action lawsuit against Samsung Electronics America (Samsung) for concealing a significant material defect (“the Defect”) in its Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 portable computer. The Defect causes damage to the device when it is opened, which often results in a shattered or damaged screen and leaves the product completely unusable.
If you are the owner of a defective Chromebook and are interested in discussing your eligibility to join a lawsuit, please contact class action attorney Gary S. Graifman, Esq. or Melissa R. Emert, Esq., Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C., 747 Chestnut Ridge Road – Suite 200, Chestnut Ridge, NY 10977 via telephone: (866) 896-0935, fax: (845) 356-4335, or email: [email protected] or [email protected].
Chromebook Malfunction Causes Display Screen to Crack and Split
These Chromebooks are designed with a touchscreen that rotates 360-degrees and serves as both a highly mobile premium tablet and a notebook. The display hinges often malfunction by detaching from where they are affixed inside the display and then crack through the screen when the display is moved. Once the Defect appears, users often experience damage such as a rupture or split in the screen just by attempting to open the Device or to alter the angle of the display. The Device becomes unusable upon the onset of the Defect, as the screen glass breaks and/or the user is no longer able to open or shut the display and adjust his or her viewing angle without inflicting extensive damage to the glass of the screen.
Making matters even more concerning and frustrating for users is the fact that this defect often manifests approximately one year after purchase, meaning that the device is no longer covered under warranty and Samsung has free reign to charge exorbitant amounts to fix this known defect in the product.
Product Defect Lawsuits
This potential class action falls under the area of law referred to as product liability. In order to bring a successful product liability claim against a defendant, the following must be demonstrated:
- That you incurred a loss.
- Your product was defective in some manner. Displays becoming unhinged and causing the screen to crack are clear signs that the product was defective.
- You had been using the product as it was intended to be used and as a reasonable person would use it. If you were using it for the purposes for which it was designed and advertised, you would likely meet this criteria.

KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.Posted on Google

Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.Posted on Google

Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommendPosted on Google

We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
