Family Sues Amazon After Counterfeit Hoverboard Catches Fire, Destroys Home (wtsp.com)

Three weeks after unboxing a hoverboard, it burst into flames. But is Amazon partly to blame? tripleevenfall quotes The Tennessean: A Nashville family whose $1 million home was destroyed earlier this year in a fire caused by a hoverboard toy is suing Amazon saying the retail giant knowingly sold a dangerous product... The lawsuit says the seller of the hoverboard listed online, "W-Deals," is a sham organization that is registered to an apartment in New York City that has not responded to requests from lawyers in the case. It alleges the family was sold a counterfeit product from China instead of a brand with a Samsung lithium ion battery they believed they were buying from Amazon . It says Tennessee product liability law holds a seller responsible if the manufacturer cannot be found.

Nooo, instead of paying for home insurance, they instead go all sue happy.
The only person they need to sue is themselves for buying the stupid thing when it is WIDELY KNOWN they are not safe and there is a national ban on them.
