Washington Supreme Court allows lawsuits against Amazon over sale of suicide-causing chemical.
The Washington Supreme Court has ruled that Amazon can be sued by families who say the company’s sale of high-purity sodium nitrite—used in food preservation and metal refining—contributed to suicides.
The court rejected Amazon’s claim that suicide is a superseding cause, allowing the lawsuits to move forward.
The families allege Amazon failed to provide adequate warnings or restrict sales of the chemical, which can be lethal if misused.
The decision highlights online marketplaces’ potential responsibility for third-party product safety.
