US Sues eBay Over Sale of Harmful Products
September 27, 2023
The U.S. government has filed a lawsuit against eBay, alleging that the online platform violated environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, by permitting the sale of harmful products. The complaint states that eBay allowed the sale of over 343,000 aftermarket “defeat” devices that bypass vehicle emissions controls. Additionally, eBay is accused of enabling the sale of thousands of unregistered or misbranded pesticides, in violation of a 2020 order from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the distribution of over 5,600 paint and coating removal products containing the potentially lethal chemical methylene chloride. eBay responded, calling the lawsuit “entirely unprecedented” and pledging a vigorous defense.
