Amazon sued over seafood's environmental claims

Amazon has filed a lawsuit brought by consumers in the United States accusing the company of making misleading claims about the environmental sustainability benefits of the seafood sold on its platform. The lawsuit comes amid criticism of the company's disclosures regarding its promotion of products as "sustainable" and "dolphin-safe," despite many of the fishing vessels involved not following precise tracking systems. It is believed that around 20% of imported seafood does not come from responsible or sustainable sources. The claims seek monetary and punitive damages and suggest that the company uses widespread awareness messages without fully disclosing the true conditions of the fishing process, which constitutes a violation of consumer protection laws, particularly in Washington State. Amazon, which recorded sales exceeding $150 billion in 2025, continues to face criticism over the credibility of its claims regarding sustainability and consumer rights.
