Hagens Berman: Woodinville Woman Sues Amazon After Camp Stove Explodes, Causing Catastrophic Burns

Hagens Berman filed a personal-injury lawsuit against Amazon (AMZN.OQ) on April 21, 2026, after a Washington woman says a Fire-Maple Fixed Star 1 camp stove bought on Amazon exploded and caused catastrophic second- and third-degree burns. The complaint alleges Amazon had prior notice of buyer reports of gas leaks, overheating and “massive flames,” yet continued to list and promote the product as a “#1 Best Seller” without adequate safety reviews or warnings. The suit seeks damages for medical costs, lost wages and pain and suffering and asserts negligence, design/manufacturing defect and failure-to-warn claims. While this is a product-liability suit rather than a securities matter, ongoing litigation and reputational risk could present downside headline risk for AMZN.OQ, particularly if similar claims multiply or prompt regulatory scrutiny.
