Abstract: We show the classical $p{i}_1$-action on the $n$-th homotopy group can fail to be continuous for any $n$ when the homotopy groups are equipped with the natural quotient topology. In particular, we prove the action $p{i}_1(X)imesp{i}_n(X)op{i}_n(X)$ fails to be continuous for a one-point union $X=Aveemathbb{H}_n$ where $A$ is an aspherical space such that $p{i}_1(A)$ is a topological group and $mathbb{H}_n$ is the $(n-1)$-connected, n-dimensional Hawaiian earring space $mathbb{H}_n$ for which $p{i}_n(mathbb{H}_n)$ is a topological abelian group.
