Nintendo is already dealing with a couple of class action lawsuits in the United States over Joy-Con drift. Now, however, another complaint has been filed.

As spotted by Polygon, the lawsuit was filed today in a Seattle court. It contains a technical breakdown completed by an expert, who indicates that the problem occurs due to wear on the interior pads of the controller. Lawyers for the plaintiff say Nintendo has not been appropriately informing consumers despite being aware of the situation. The complaint mentions consumer advocacy investigations in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa also previously apologized for issues with the Switch Joy-Con.
