A split Texas Supreme Court ruled that product liability plaintiffs cannot sue Amazon.com Inc. if they are harmed by products purchased from a third party on the retail platform.
In the 5-2 ruling in the Amazon.com v. McMillan case, the Supreme Court had to decide, without the participation of a judge, whether Amazon is considered a "seller" under the Texas Common Law Product Liability Act if the website serves as a platform for retailers from all over the world World to reach consumers.
