Last month, a California appeals court ruled that gargantuan online retailer Amazon can be held liable for defective products that were sold on its third-party “Marketplace.” The ruling suggests that if you purchase a third-party product on Amazon and that product is defective, Amazon may be responsible for damages. The finding by the California Fourth District Court of Appeals reverses a 2019 ruling by a lower trial court. The appeals court ruling reinstated the claims from a plaintiff who alleged that she sustained third-degree burns after a defective laptop battery she purchased from an Amazon third-party seller caught fire.
