New (refurbished) Pixel 8 has pink line on screen

[zBernie]

I just bought a refurbished Pixel 8 from Amazon. Occasionally there is a bright pink line that runs from the top of the display to the bottom. It's just a few mm wide. I read in the article below that Google had a repair program addressing this issue. Can anyone point me to any information regarding this pink line issue?

Just return it to Amazon. Their refurbs have a 90-day return period.

But why not just send it back to Amazon and exchange it for a good one?
