CPSC says Amazon is responsible for hazardous items from third-party sellers
Amazon is legally responsible for faulty or defective products sold through its Fulfilled by Amazon program, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
This investigation centered on carbon monoxide detectors that did not function correctly, hair dryers that did not have electrocution safeguards and children's sleepwear that did not meet federal flammability standards. Under the decision and order issued by the agency, Amazon must submit plans to notify customers about these faulty products and take steps for getting them returned or destroyed. In September 2023, the department sued eBay after environmentally unsafe materials were put up for sale on the retailer, and in January 2024, the company paid$59 million for a DoJ settlement over pill press machines.
