Amazon Sued in Teens’ Deaths
Online shopping giant Amazon is being sued by the parents of two teenagers who died by suicide after ingesting a substance purchased off the retailer’s website, according to court documents.
In a lawsuit filed on Sept. 29, 2022, the parents of Kristine Jónsson, 16, of Ohio, and of Ethan McCarthy, 17, of West Virginia, both accused Amazon and industrial science supply company Loudwolf of selling their children “suicide kits” containing chemical called sodium nitrite which, if ingested in concentrated doses, can be fatal.
