The Case: Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy, et al. v. Amazon.com, LLC, et al.

The Court: Los Angeles County Superior Court

The Case No.: 23A H CV 00 1 92

The Plaintiff: Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy, et al. v. Amazon.com, LLC, et al.

The plaintiff in the case, Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy, filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful death, personal injury, property damage, and product liability on behalf of himself and the Estate of Xiaoyan Kolodgy-Nagy. The plaintiff alleges the decedent suffered injury and death from using a defective snow sled manufactured by Amazon LLC and sold on their online retail site. According to the complaint, the damages were caused by one product, the Weanas 47inch Snow Sled for Kids and Adults Heavy Dute Inflatable Sledding Tube with 2 Higher Handles and Detachable Tow Rope, Blue (also referred to as Weanas 47” Snow Sled).

The Defendant: Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy, et al. v. Amazon.com, LLC, et al.

The defendant in the case, Amazon.com, LLC, et al., listed and sold the Weanas 47” snow sled, advertising it as a snow sled safe for use. However, the plaintiff claims that the product was unsafe due to improper warnings, improper instructions on using the sled, a defective design, and defective manufacturing of the product or its parts. The plaintiff specifically claims that the snow tube’s poor design meant users could not steer, and the product was not safe for use by multiple adults (without proper warnings or instructions regarding these specific limitations/dangers).

The Case: Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy, et al. v. Amazon.com, LLC, et al.

In the case of Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy et al. v. Amazon.com, LLC, et al., the plaintiffs claim that due to their use of the dangerous snow sled, their property was destroyed, and both suffered injuries. Before her death, decedent Xiaoyan Kolodny-Nagy suffered special and general damages, including (but not limited to) medical expenses, personal property damage, lost wages (due to injuries), physical pain, mental suffering, disfigurement, etc.
