I dont think its an undue burden to require retailers to verify things like safety certifications. Yes, it might make it impractical to have a company sell billions of different products, but I'd argue thats a good thing.
You might say "well, sellers will just counterfeit the certifications", but the fact of the matter is courts tend to look at actions, intentions, and motivations, they dont interpret laws like computers interpret code. The fact that Amazon co-mingles inventory and seemingly has near-zero interest in getting involved in their own supply chain means there is a lot of low hanging fruit that is being ignored in the interest of profits. Changing the law would a step in the right direction, even if imperfect.
- syshum 7y ago>>The fact that Amazon co-mingles inventory That is the biggest problem right there, and should be what shifts the legal liability from the seller to the platform If they want to co-mingle inventory then they should assume the risk and have processes to ensure that the co-mingled inventory is actually the same product not counterfeit
