• The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has accused Amazon of failing to properly report and recall thousands of hazardous products sold on its platform. The CPSC alleges that Amazon has been aware of the safety issues with these products but has not taken adequate steps to remove them from sale or notify consumers.

• The products in question include items like faulty carbon monoxide detectors, children's sleepwear that fails to meet flammability standards, and hair dryers that lack required immersion protection. The CPSC claims that Amazon has received numerous reports of injuries and incidents related to these hazardous products.

• Amazon has disputed the CPSC's claims, arguing that as a platform, it is not legally responsible for products sold by third-party sellers. However, the CPSC maintains that Amazon has an obligation to protect consumers from dangerous goods, regardless of the seller. This dispute highlights the ongoing debate around the liability of online marketplaces for the safety of products sold through their platforms.
