Consumer Product Safety Commission

There should be more than 400,000 dangerous products recalled by Amazon

Amazon failed to adequately alert over 3,00,000 customers to serious risks that included death and electrocution, a US Consumer Product Safety Commission study said. It tested over 4,00,000 products sold by third parties on Amazon and found defects including faulty carbon monoxide detectors and defective hair dryers, which could cause electrocution. A spokesperson for Amazon said the company plans to appeal.
