Amazon faces class action lawsuit over tariff refunds

A class action lawsuit filed in Seattle accuses Amazon of retaining hundreds of millions of dollars from unlawful tariffs instead of refunding customers. The suit follows a Supreme Court ruling against the tariff policy.

The lawsuit was filed on Friday in Seattle. It claims Amazon profited from tariff costs passed on to consumers and has no intention of returning the money, despite being legally entitled to recover refunds from the government after the Supreme Court decision.
