Death Made Nov 11, 2022, sent to the company Nov 16, 2022, published by CPSC Dec 1, 2022
The product, in the report: Google Nest Thermostat
We had a lightning strike near our house. The power surge caused a Google Nest thermostat to fail in a manner that put it in “EMERGENCY HEAT” mode, causing the interior temperature to go to 114°F. An elderly tenant was found unresponsive in that heat less than 48 hours later, and passed away about a week later in the hospital.

No incident, no one hurt Made Jan 10, 2021, sent to the company Feb 18, 2021, published by CPSC Mar 4, 2021
The product, in the report: Google Nest Smart thermostat Model GA02083-US
My Nest thermostat is only 1 months old and the battery died. The only way I know this is I woke up this morning and the house was 50 degrees F.
There was no warning on the screen or from the app.
The battery in my old thermostat stat lasted over a year with the display on all the time. It also would warn me when I had to replace the battery.
This is a safety issue. I could have frozen to death in my sleep.
