## Resource

Australia’s consumer watchdog is suing Amazon over unicorn backpacks sold on its platform that lacked critical safety warnings about button batteries — a move marking the first time an online marketplace faces legal action for product safety failures. These batteries pose severe risks if ingested or mishandled by children, prompting new government regulations requiring clear warnings and child-resistant compartments. The watchdog seeks up to $50 million in penalties, calling for accountability as digital marketplaces grow in influence. Amazon has removed the listings and contacted buyers to provide safety info, emphasizing its commitment to customer safety amid rising global concerns over button battery incidents.
