That's not accurate, at least in the United States. Product warranties are issued by manufacturers, and Google's pages for TP-Link[1] and Asus[2] confirm this.

The manufacturer warranty is 2 years for both the TP-Link[3] and Asus[4] OnHub models.

If there were a class action, it would be against TP-Link and Asus. These manufacturers would then take the losses into consideration before collaborating with Google in the future.

Those are not implied warrantees. Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implied_warranty
Yes, maufacturer warranties are not implied warranties. They are explicit promises from the manufacturer to repair or replace products that fall below certain standards within a period of time.

For example, the TP-Link limited warranty explicitly identifies TP-Link USA Corp. as the warrantor:

> TP-Link USA Corp. (“TP-Link USA”) provides a limited warranty on all eligible TP-Link products purchased in the United States.
