They’re right! They shouldn’t be responsible for products sold by third parties. If I go to Walmart and buy something, I shouldn’t be allowed to seek remedy from Amazon.
I don’t disagree but there is a point that should be considered: Amazon probably get a percentage from the sell, so it earn money even from third parties.
Now, I don’t think that Amazon has any responsability about recalling or any other remedy options, but they should at least forced to put a warning on the product page saying that the product is recalled or whatever it is. Even only sending a e-mail to every buyer is good (and Amazon obviously know who buy a product), then it is the buyer that will decide what to do.

This is like Uber saying they’re not subject to taxi regulations because something something “on the web.” Yet they are functionally the same as a taxi service, except for their predatory surge pricing algorithm (which regular taxi firms do now too-- thanks a lot, Uberrhoids).
