According to The Verge reports the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recently revealed that Amazon has done a poor job of informing customers when products they purchased through the site have been recalled.

According to the report, Amazon sold faulty carbon monoxide detectors, hair dryers that posed a shock risk, and children’s pajamas that did not meet flammability safety standards that were all products sold through third-party sellers.

The CPSC issued recalls for these products, but Amazon’s notification to customers who purchased them simply said there may be a potential safety issue. That led to CPSC filing a lawsuit against Amazon.

As the lawsuit made its way through court, Amazon didn’t think they should be responsible for recalls associated with products sold through third-party sellers on their platform. Ultimately, Amazon was told they are responsible for issuing those recalls just a couple of months ago.
