Documented where? I've never been able to find any sources for that claim.

This was the one for the Google Home Mini... the fabric on the top was causing some of the devices to constantly record (there is a sensor up there that you could tap to ask a question instead of using the wake word). Once it was discovered Google disabled the tap feature.

I remember hearing about issues with Alexa also constantly recording some years ago, but I don't recall the specifics of that case enough to be able to easily search for it.
