A PlayStation 5 (PS5) owner is suing Sony in Illinois federal court for hiding a defect in the gaming console, according to a lawsuit.<\/p>\n
Attorneys on behalf of Christina Trejo filed the class action on July 12, alleging that the company knowingly hid a PS5 defect where it powers down suddenly while the user is playing video games. <\/p>\n

Trejo’s complaint alleges that Sony was aware of the defect through \u201cwarranty repair requests and online consumer complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n
