In the lawsuit, filed March 14, Amazon alleges that the CPSC and its current commissioners have “overstepped…by ordering Amazon to conduct a wide-ranging recall of products that were manufactured, owned, and sold by third parties,” and thus, treating it as a distributor rather than a third-party logistics company.

The ecommerce giant claims it’s not responsible for recalling items sold by third parties.

Amazon sues safety regulator, denying liability for hundreds of thousands potentially dangerous or defective products sold on its platform.
