The product, in the report: Seda France - Japanese Quince Candle. 10 oz.
I bought a Seda candle from Amazon.com. The candle burned through its glass and onto my wood dining table.
UPDATED ON 1/27/2025: [ 1. I tried to post an accurate product review on Amazon.com -- but Amazon blocked me from doing so.
2. I emailed Amazon’s safety team and asked that they allow me to post an accurate review. Amazon’s safety team ignored me.
3. In light of the foregoing, I was unable to post on Amazon.com a review of the product that is the subject of the complaint that I submitted to you. (I was able to submit a product review from a years-prior identical product from a different seller.)]
UPDATED ON 5/28/2025: [a. Amazon offered to reimburse me for the cost to repair the damage to my dining table caused by the candle burning through its glass and burning my dining table — but only if I sign a NDA that prohibits me from speaking with the CPSC and other regulators about Seda’s dangerously defective candle product.
b. I tried multiple times over months to get Amazon to lift its requirement that I can’t ever talk to regulators about my CPSC complaint. Amazon refused my many requests, over months, to remove the prohibition and to allow me to speak with regulators about my CPSC complaint. Amazon’s subversive confidentiality muzzle is what led me to provide this update to my CPSC report on the defective Seda candle that I bought from Amazon.
c. Since Amazon prevented me for months from posting an accurate “Verified Buyer” product review that highlighted its product’s property/life safety issues, and since I’d already filed a complaint with the CPSC, I wasn’t willing to agree to Amazon’s confidentiality requirement that I not be able to speak with the CPSC and other regulators. (The reality is this: Since Seda and Amazon haven’t demonstrated any apparent interest in protecting the public from Seda’s dangerously defective candle, which burned a wood dining table, who will be left speak freely about Seda’s dangerously defective candle if I’m contractually muzzled by Amazon?) And now, because I won’t agree to Amazon’s confidentiality muzzle as it relates to regulators, Amazon refuses to reimburse me for my demonstrable, direct damages.
d. Even if it may be legal, this Amazon condition that I not speak to any regulators as a condition to Amazon reimbursing me for my damages is inappropriate and against public policy — and it’s a burden that Amazon should not be able to require of me. For example, if I hit your car and cause $1k in damage, then I must reimburse you for your $1k loss, even if you won’t sign a confidentiality provision. The same should be true here. Furthermore, if I sued Amazon in court and won, the court would aware me my damages without also requiring me to sign a confidentiality provision as condition to Amazon paying me my damages.
e. Bottom line: Amazon shouldn’t be allowed to require me to not speak with the CPSC or other regulators as a condition to reimbursing me for my losses caused by the dangerously defective Seda candle that I bought on Amazon. ]
