Marketing Advisor Fabio Tresoldi, 69, bought Sugar-Mad Waver Power tool Use it Amazon Prime Account to do some work in your home LondonDocklands.
But when he was badly injured when blade The machine cut off its points, which led to partially demonetisation of the index finger on its major hand.
Mr. Tresolde complained to Amazon and then a High Court claims up to £ 60,000 in compensation on the basis that the company sold him “faulty” products.
Just a few months after their accident, the office warned the UK government’s product safety and standards that the weaver noticed that there was a “serious risk” for users, because “the blade is accessible by hand,” said their lawyers.
Many other Vevor equipment products were subject to recall or denying admission to the UK border in 2023 that they took serious protection risk to users, “had been identified as electric shocks, fire, burns, and the risk of injuries”.
Among the documents filed in the London court, Amazon Services Europe says it has now “accepted liability” for the accident, but DIY is ready to dispute the amount in the loss caused by enthusiasts.
The device bought by Mr. Tresoldi was advertised as a “Weaver portable benchtop table on Amazon, with a woodworking cutting polishing carving machine woodworking cutting machine countertop”.
It was marketed as a “portable smooth wood table top for wooden machines for cutting, polishing and carving. Maximum motor speed up to 10,000 rpm, which enables highly powerful cutting performance. Ideal tool for DIY at home without noise pollution.
The procurement of Mr. Tresoldi came in September 2022, which was before the office of the UK government’s product safety and standards, warned that it was a “serious risk” for users because “the blade is accessible by hand,” said their lawyers.
As a result, a security report was released about several other Vevor products, some of which were destroyed at the UK border.
However, the step was too late for Mr. Tresoldi, who, when he used the equipment, suffered an injury, resulting in a partial dissection of his major index finger. “
The lawyers of Mr. Tresoldi alleged that the SAW was “faulty” for the objectives of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and was not in line with the relevant security standards at that time.
Amazon himself saw that the table had seen, was an importer of the table in the UK or supplier of the table seen in Britain, “he claimed in court documents.
A claim was also brought in the contract law, alleging that the power tool was not of satisfactory quality.
In a defense document presented in the court last month, Amazon’s lawyer Elli Finch said the company had accepted “the obligation for the purposes of the claim”. ,
However, he said, “no entry is made in the form of alleged injuries or symptoms of the claimant” and that he would be necessary to prove the fact, nature, range and cause. “
The issues in the case have not yet gone to a judge, but will be listed for hearing on a later date, until the parties agree to settle outside the court.
In a statement, Mr. Tresoldi said: “Apart from my personal situation, I am very concerned about consumer rights, and I never wanted a legal battle.
“In fact, when I initially approached Amazon, I just wanted to be convinced that the equipment I bought was made according to the current UK security rules.”
