On Aug. 10, the retailer began notifying customers via email of a recall of potentially hazardous eclipse glasses it couldnâ??t verify as having been manufactured by reputable companies, but Payne and Harris say they got no such notice. Payne and Harris accuse Amazon of negligence and unfair trade practices and seek class-action status.
