Amazon is suing the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) over the e-commerce giant’s legal responsibility for the recalls of hundreds of thousands of products sold on its platform.
The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, challenges the CPSC’s findings that Amazon is legally liable for the recalled products. The specific details of the suit have not yet been released.
This legal action highlights the ongoing debates surrounding the role of online marketplaces in product safety and the responsibility of these platforms for items sold by third-party vendors. The CPSC has been increasing its scrutiny of online retailers, and this case could set a precedent for future recall actions.
