Amazon has been told by U.S. authorities that it holds the responsibility, not third-party sellers, for any faulty items sold on its online marketplace. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the finding this week, ruling that the global e-commerce giant failed to adequately inform the public about more than 400,000 defective products. The commission is the authority to rule on dangerous items sold in the United States, with the remit to order a recall on any hazardous items. As part of a statement released by the CPSC on Tuesday, it relayed that a judge sided in its favor, placing responsibility on Amazon alone as a distributor of third-party products.
