Also recommend this Twitter thread from the lawyer. https://twitter.com/cagoldberglaw/status/1578121292502409216

Wow, she is super sensationalized. Blowing everything out of proportion and advertising her case.

Nobody likes lawyers.

Why chase ambulances when you can chase hearses...

Genuine question, if Amazon is knowingly selling this product to minors and they are aware if its intended use, how is this being “blown out of proportion”?

Well, if part of your job is to incent the defendant to offer a settlement, then you're fighting a PR battle.

It's a regrettable system, but it's hard to blame the lawyer for having to work within it.

Why is this a problem?

She’s representing a client and putting up what she thinks is the most effective way to argue their case. Amazon will put up whatever they think their best defense is. A court will decide who is correct.

I personally found the repetitive "no household uses" to be a weak and sensational argument. There are any number of uses for something like this for someone who might have a hobby involving these chemicals.

Plus, it's not like there aren't many things _with_ household uses that can be used for suicide too.

Wrongful death...for selling sodium nitrite, a common curing salt.

Might as well go after them for selling caffeine powder..

The website itself appears content free on mobile. But that Twitter link nicely explains the issue.

"turning people into jerky"

This is some better call Saul lawyering
