AMAZON MUST RECALL DANGEROUS PRODUCTS PROPERLY — EVEN ONES SOLD BY THIRD-PARTIES

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has ruled that Amazon, not third-party sellers, is responsible for properly recalling hazardous items sold on its marketplace. Amazon failed to adequately notify the public about more than 400,000 recalled products sold between 2018 and 2021. The company downplayed the severity of hazards, telling customers about 'potential safety issues' rather than explicitly labeling recalls. Amazon now has a page dedicated to recalls that allows users to view product recalls and safety information for items they bought on Amazon.
