Is Your Fire TV Streaming Stick Dead? Why Amazon Is Facing a Massive Lawsuit

Amazon faces a proposed class-action lawsuit over claims it slowed older Fire TV Stick devices and pushed them toward obsolescence.

The complaint, filed in Los Angeles, says second-generation units became sluggish and eventually unusable after years of use.

Plaintiff Bill Merewhuader argues Amazon did not clearly warn buyers that the devices could lose functionality over time.

The suit seeks to cover U.S. owners of first- and second-generation Fire TV Sticks and could test consumer-rights claims around long-term device support.
