Summary

Increasing number of suicides can be a factor in these lawsuits as they play out, said Robert Rabin, a professor at Stanford Law School who is an expert on tort law.

“It means that Amazon had even more knowledge of the risks associated with the product that’s coming through their marketplace, those risks coming to fruition, and indeed, involving minors,” Rabin said.
