Amazon Heated Vest Injury Lawsuit Lawyers

A quick search for “heated vest” on Amazon’s website yields countless results. Heated vests are essentially electric vests. They are battery-powered and are usually rechargeable. They have wiring or plates within the vest that heat up when powered on, warming the individual wearing the garment. Usually, these vests have a button or some sort of remote that allows them to control the temperature and turn the heat on or off.

Unfortunately, issues with design, labeling, and manufacturing, for example, could ultimately result in the product malfunctioning and injuring unsuspecting users.

Some of the injuries that could occur due to heated vests that malfunction could include the following:

• Burns varying in degree
• Electrocution
• Electric shock
• And more

No matter the specific injuries that you or a loved one suffered related to the use of a heated vest, it is important that you know that you could have the right to file a lawsuit for any harm resulting from the dangerous products.

In general, the right to sue for injuries caused by products that malfunction is based on the concept of product liability. Based on product liability, product manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their products are safe for consumers. Before releasing products to the public, these companies must test their products to ensure that they are free of hazards or dangerous conditions that could ultimately lead to injuries.

Can Amazon be liable for injuries caused by products available on their site? – This is a very important question. Traditionally, online retailers, like Amazon, were not held liable for harm caused by products unless they were active participants in the distribution process. However, this recently changed due to a 2020 court ruling. In Bolger v. Amazon, the court upheld that Amazon could be strictly liable for harm caused by defective products sold through its online platform, even when the product was sold by a third-party seller, because of the following:

• Amazon plays a critical role in the product’s placement into commerce
• Amazon provides fulfilment services, processes payment for the product, and profits from the sale of the product

Of course, it Amazon is the direct seller of the product, covers all of fulfillment, recommends the product on their site, or even fails to warn of the possible dangers of the product (that is, if Amazon knew or should have known of issues with the product due to consumer complaints or more) but failed to take action, then liability would be more straightforward.
