Amazon Sued Over Misleading Seafood Sustainability Claims

Amazon is facing a proposed consumer class action in the United States over allegations that it misrepresented the environmental credentials of seafood sold through its online marketplace.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Seattle, claims Amazon made false or misleading statements about the sustainability of its seafood offerings.

The suit alleges that Amazon's 'sustainable' labels on seafood products were misleading and did not accurately reflect the environmental impact of the catch.
