Google is facing legal action from parents in the US angry over purchases their children have made in games without their consent.
The case is being filed by a New York mother on behalf of other parents.
She was furious that her five-year-old son was able to spend $66 (£39) within five minutes of downloading a free game called Marvel Run Jump Smash.
Last year, Apple agreed to refund customers to the tune of $32.5m over similar purchases.
