A California court case over a flammable hoverboard could force Amazon to change its entire third-party sales business model

A ruling in favor of Loomis could leave Amazon liable for products sold by all of its third-party merchants, even those that it does not directly warehouse or delivery with its Fulfillment by Amazon business.

Amazon declined to comment on the lawsuit itself, but it did send Insider a statement on product safety. Appellate judges took the impact on public safety into consideration in their ruling. In a concurring opinion, Judge John Wiley wrote:"This case is easy. Amazon is well situated to take cost-effective measures to minimize the social costs of accidents. Strict liability will prompt this beneficial conduct."
