Amazon Sued Over Quality of Products
A lawsuit has been filed against Amazon over the quality of products sold on their website, even by third party sellers. The Third Circuit Court heard arguments in the case which may determine if the reseller will be responsible for selling defective products.
The plaintiffs sued Amazon when they could not find contact information for a dog collar seller. She was walking her dog in Pennsylvania in January 2015 with her dog wearing the dog collar she purchased through Amazon.
The Amazon lawsuit states that when the dog reached the end of the leash, the product failed by “bending/spreading open,” separated from the collar and flew back, striking Oberdorf’s eyeglasses and causing severe and permanent damage to her face and left eye.
“Defendant is liable to Plaintiff Heather R. Oberdorf because it failed to provide adequate warnings regarding the use of the subject dog collar, causing it to be unreasonably dangerous to the intended user at the time it left the defendant’s possession,” the lawsuit states.
Case Details
The plaintiffs are represented by David F. Wilk of Lepley Engelman Yaw & Wilk LLC.
The Amazon Dog Leash Lawsuit is Heather Oberdorf, et al. v. Amazon Inc., Case No. 18-1041, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

amazonbasics batterries suck…..
Get the Kirkland batteries at Costco. They’re Duracell batteries in disguise.
Or get the Amazon Basics rechargables. They’re rebranded Panasonic Eneloops. Maybe just learn basic English while you’re at it? 😀
