Something Fishy: Consumers Sue Amazon Over Alleged Seafood Greenwashing
By TechShots Studio
A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in Seattle federal court accuses Amazon of misleading shoppers by falsely marketing seafood as "sustainable," "dolphin safe," and "responsibly sourced." The complaint targets brands like StarKist, Bumble Bee, and Amazon’s 365 line, alleging that these eco-friendly claims are unsubstantiated because fishing supply chains frequently involve untracked vessels, environmental damage, and unverified certifications.
