Amazon is (So Far) Winning Its War Against Products Liability Exposure
Reuters reports that a federal appeals court has determined that Amazon is not liable for facilitating the sale of a defective product manufactured by another company.
It’s the second time in just three weeks that courts have found Amazon not be liable for the defective products of their suppliers.
Reuters’ Alison Frankel reports that the 6th Circuit held in Fox v. Amazon that Amazon cannot be held responsible under state product liability law because it was not the seller of the defective product – even though the product was advertised on Amazon’s platform and Amazon shipped and collected payment for it.
