Nothing will happen. They will say sorry and provide you a credit and tell you not to use the device...like they do now.

  I'm sure there is at least one product liabilty attorney ready to illustrate chain of commerce liability for defective products sold to consumers with a big fat wrongful death award at stake. And even if there wasn't, the bigger deal is that someone actually getting killed would bring more media attention to both Amazon's counterfeit goods problem and the deliberate choices Amazon makes that enable that problem.

    I would like this think so, but am too cynical and pessimistic when it comes to business. The avg cost of a human life is ~7.5 million [1] (old stat, may be different), that is a minor accounting issue for Amazon if they were actually sued and lost for this.

      That's actually why I said the bigger issue than the liability one is the PR one.

        I think Amazon is too big and too global for a couple deaths to really affect them at this point.
