Law Firm Files Lawsuits Targeting Amazon for Product-Related Injuries
In a notable legal move, the Law Offices of Jason Turchin, a well-known product liability law firm, have embarked on a series of injury lawsuits directed at Amazon. This initiative concerns individuals who have suffered injuries from hazardous and defective items sold through the platform, which comprises products from both Amazon and third-party vendors.
Amazon's Responsibility
As one of the largest online marketplaces globally, Amazon bears a significant responsibility regarding the safety of the products listed for sale on its site. Jason Turchin, an experienced product liability attorney, emphasized this responsibility: "When these products result in serious injuries, it is imperative that Amazon is held accountable for the consequences of its sales practices."
Types of Claims
The firm is set to handle a variety of claims including:
- - Exploding lithium-ion batteries found in electric scooters, chargers, and various handheld devices.
- - Pressure cooker incidents leading to kitchen fires and severe burns.
- - Defective electronics that present risks of fire or electric shock to users.
- - Toxic toys for children or consumer goods that are improperly labeled or hazardous.
- - Household items that may collapse or break during regular use, leading to injuries.
A significant concern is that many of these products are marketed through unregulated third-party sellers, including international companies. Yet, judicial rulings from various states indicate that Amazon can still be deemed liable, as it is a principal distributor and facilitator of sales transactions.
Challenges for Consumers
Consumers frequently encounter challenges when dealing with potential injuries caused by these products. Often, they may be unaware of the actual seller or may have difficulty in contacting them post-injury. In many instances, Amazon proves to be the only entity with the necessary resources to address claims and damages.
What to Do if You Are Injured
In the unfortunate event of sustaining an injury from a product purchased on Amazon, Turchin advises:
1.
Seek immediate medical assistance to address your injuries.
2.
Retain the product along with its packaging as evidence.
3.
Document your injuries and take photos of both your wounds and the involved items.
4.
Report the incident to Amazon through your user account to formally notify them.
5.
Consult a product liability attorney who can guide you on your rights and legal options moving forward.
