Beijing time on June 9 news, Alibaba Group was sued in the United States by the parents of a San Francisco man, because the 3D printer the man bought from the Ali US portal caught fire in 2020, causing his death.
The man, Calvin Yu, whose parents accused Ali of selling a defective printer,Think Ali knew or should have known that the printer was defective. They also sued printer maker Chuangxingyuan Technology.
Yu’s parents said in a complaint filed Tuesday in a state court in San Francisco that their son purchased the printer from AliExpress, a U.S. portal, in November 2019 and used it at home on a pre-order basis. Fire investigators concluded that “the fire was started by the aforementioned 3D printer, which overheated and ignited the sofa,” the lawsuit said. Yu was found dead in the apartment.
Now,Consumers are increasingly trying to hold online platforms accountable for what they sell on their site, even from third-party sellers. Amazon.com Inc. has faced dozens of product liability claims in recent years from people who have been injured by products sold by Amazon. In September, Amazon instituted a new policy to pay shoppers who were injured or made property claims less than $1,000, and in some cases more than $1,000, though the company argued in court that it was not responsible .
