When purchasing a product, you expect it to work, especially when you are purchasing from a retailer as massive as Amazon. If a product you purchased online causes injuries, you have the right to hold the parties involved in the chain of distribution liable. This includes Amazon even if it was only “fulfilled by Amazon.”
In this episode, Rebecca Wright and Steve Alsip discuss the continued evolution of the liability of online retailers. We also encourage you to listen to our 2019 episode, Liability and the Online Marketplace, which was refreshed as our previous episode, in which Steve and Rebecca discuss the history of these arguments. We encourage you to listen to that first episode to familiarize yourself with the arguments and how these decisions are changing over time. We have no doubt that they will continue to change.
