Lawsuit Filed Against Amazon Over Trump's Tariffs — Reuters
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Amazon in the U.S. over the company's refusal to reimburse consumers for additional costs incurred due to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
This was reported by Reuters.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Seattle. The plaintiffs allege that Amazon passed on hundreds of millions of dollars in additional costs to shoppers by raising prices on imported goods due to tariffs that the U.S. Supreme Court later ruled were illegal.
In February, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump had exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose sweeping tariffs.
Following this, thousands of companies began demanding refunds from the government, but Amazon did not do so. The lawsuit alleges that the company deliberately did not seek a refund to avoid conflict with the Trump administration.
The plaintiffs accuse Amazon of unjust enrichment and violating Washington state consumer protection laws.
