eBay Wins Dismissal of US Lawsuit Over Alleged Sale of Harmful Products
mercredi 2 octobre 2024, 01:40 , par Slashdot
The judge said eBay's administrative and technical support to sellers 'does not materially contribute to the products' alleged unlawfulness' and does not make the San Jose, California, company a 'publisher or speaker' on sellers' behalf. Merchant also said eBay was not a 'seller' of some of the challenged products, because it did not physically possess them or hold title. She rejected the government's argument that eBay was a seller because it exchanged the products for money. The U.S. government argued eBay violated the Clean Air Act by allowing the sale of harmful products, including more than 343,000 aftermarket 'defeat' devices that help vehicles generate more power and get better fuel economy by evading emissions controls. The company also was accused of allowing sales of 23,000 unregistered, misbranded or restricted-use pesticides, as well as distributing more than 5,600 paint and coating removal products that contained methylene chloride, a chemical linked to brain and liver cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
