The BEUC and its members have submitted a complaint against Nintendo to the European Commission and national consumer protection authorities following close to 25,000 reports concerning Joy-Con drift. Switch owners filed complaints from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Greece. These reports claim that the Joy-Con controller malfunction in 88 percent of cases within the first two years of use.
Today’s announcement states that the “BEUC has submitted a complaint to the European Commission and national consumer protection authorities for premature obsolescence and misleading omissions of key consumer information (on the basis of the EU’s Unfair Commercial Practices Directive).” It is now “calling for a Europe-wide investigation into the issue and for Nintendo to be obliged to urgently address the premature failures of its product.” For the time being, the BEUC says consumers should have their Joy-Con be repaired for free and consumers “should be properly informed
about the limited lifespan of this product.”
BEUC general director Monique Goyens said in a statement:
