The Federal Aviation Administration is fining Amazon $ 350,000 for not realizing it should take more precaution when shipping a product call “ Amazing ! LIQUID FIRE ” .
consort to the FAA , Amazon ship a gal of the “ liquid fire”—in reality , a corrosive drainage cleaner — from Kentucky to Colorado in 2014 . The company might have gotten away with profane the risky material necessary , except the container , which was n’t properly packaged or labeled , leak out and the nine UPS employees who touched it had to be treated with a chemical washing .
Amazon , for its part , say thatit strain for “ continuous improvement ” and will “ continue to partner with the FAA , ” not that it really has a choice in the matter .
The FAA , however , is not looking so kindly on this partnership . It claims that Amazon has a story of shipping life-threatening chemical substance and has go against the wild materials rule 24 times in the past two years . In one instance , Amazon paid $ 91,000 to apologize for sending flammable liquid adhesive .
Liquid adhesive is one affair but “ liquid fire ” ? Just take a look at theown reviews , one of which calls it “ reciprocally assured destruction in a bottle ” and then says “ This is a toxic , defcon level cleansing agent . This should be a last resort choice , once you start swarm , you ca n’t take it back . ” fall on , Amazon , the warnings are everywhere .
