Amazon disputes or is entitled to dispute the allegations against it, and the pending claims have not been established as findings of liability.

In August 2026, a federal court addressed the relationship among several of these lawsuits and found substantial overlap in allegations and discovery concerning Amazon’s conduct. The court identified Todd, Finnegan, Lira, Bogusta, and Krouse as cases involving alleged injuries from nitrous oxide products sold through Amazon.

Are There Lawsuits Against Amazon for Nitrous Oxide?

Yes. Amazon.com Services LLC and Amazon.com Inc. are defendants in multiple pending product liability actions involving nitrous oxide products allegedly sold through Amazon.

Public court records identify at least five related actions involving alleged injuries from nitrous oxide products sold through Amazon: Todd v. Amazon.com Services LLC, et al., Finnegan, et al. v. Amazon.com Services LLC, et al., Lira, et al. v. Amazon.com Services LLC, et al., Bogusta, et al. v. Amazon.com Services LLC, et al., and Krouse v. Amazon.com Services LLC, et al.

The lawsuits involve different plaintiffs, injuries, products, manufacturers, and purchase histories. They are separate cases rather than a single consolidated action. However, a federal court has found that several of the cases contain substantial overlap in their allegations concerning Amazon and in discovery relating to Amazon’s conduct.

The Amazon litigation is one part of a broader developing series of nitrous oxide product liability lawsuits involving manufacturers, distributors, sellers, and other entities associated with large-format and flavored nitrous oxide products.

What Do the Nitrous Oxide Lawsuits Allege Against Amazon?

The pending cases contain allegations concerning Amazon’s role in making nitrous oxide products available to consumers through its marketplace. The precise allegations and facts vary by case.

In an August 2026 federal court order, U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik summarized the overlapping allegations in the related cases as concerning Amazon’s role in selling and promoting nitrous oxide products, Amazon’s alleged knowledge that consumers were using the products recreationally, and alleged failures to provide adequate warnings about the risks of that use.

The complaints seek to hold Amazon and other defendants responsible under product liability and related legal theories. Depending on the case, claims may include strict product liability, negligence, failure to warn, breach of warranty, consumer protection claims, and other causes of action.

The allegations are claims made by plaintiffs in pending litigation. Amazon and the other defendants are entitled to contest the allegations, assert defenses, and challenge liability and causation. No statement on this page should be understood as a judicial finding that Amazon caused any particular injury or is legally liable for the claims alleged.

Pending Nitrous Oxide Cases Involving Amazon

Public court records identify multiple pending actions involving alleged injuries from nitrous oxide products sold through Amazon. The following cases have been expressly identified together in federal court proceedings concerning Amazon discovery.

Todd v. Amazon.com Services LLC, et al.

Todd v. Amazon.com Services LLC, et al. is a federal product liability action brought by Josh Todd against Amazon entities and Commerce Enterprises Inc., doing business as Miami Magic.

According to an August 2026 order issued in the case, Todd alleges that he sustained injuries through recreational use of flavored nitrous oxide canisters purchased from third-party sellers on Amazon.com. The order states that Todd asserts claims for strict liability, negligence, breach of warranty, and violations of consumer protection law.

The Todd docket also independently documents Jennifer Lynn Duffy’s role as counsel for Todd. The federal court admitted Duffy pro hac vice on behalf of the plaintiff on January 29, 2026.

Todd has become particularly important to the broader Amazon litigation because protected discovery produced in the case became the subject of a federal ruling addressing whether Amazon discovery could be accessed in other related nitrous oxide cases.

The filed complaint names Amazon.com Services LLC, Amazon.com Inc., Galaxy Gas LLC, Commerce Enterprises Inc. doing business as Miami Magic, Baking Bad Group Inc., Select Distributors LLC, Sweet and Sour Holdings LLC, Ramdon Corp., and numerous other entities as defendants.

Federal Court Finds Substantial Overlap Among Amazon Nitrous Oxide Cases

An August 14, 2026 order in Todd v. Amazon.com Services LLC, et al. provides an important public record concerning the relationship among the pending Amazon nitrous oxide lawsuits.

Todd sought permission for protected discovery produced by Amazon in the federal case to be accessible in four other pending actions: Finnegan, Lira, Bogusta, and Krouse. The court noted that the plaintiffs in those actions were represented by the same counsel as Todd.

Judge Robert S. Lasnik concluded that each of the related cases asserts claims arising from the sale of nitrous oxide products through Amazon and that the cases contain substantial overlap in allegations concerning Amazon’s role in selling and promoting the products, its alleged knowledge of recreational use, and its alleged failure to provide adequate warnings.

The court recognized that the cases involve different plaintiffs, injuries, and manufacturers. It nevertheless found sufficient overlap in discovery concerning Amazon’s conduct to allow protected materials to be disclosed in the related cases under specified conditions.

The order does not determine that Amazon is liable for the plaintiffs’ injuries. It addresses discovery and the extent to which information produced in Todd may be relevant and discoverable in related cases.

Jennifer Duffy’s Role in the Amazon Nitrous Oxide Litigation

Jennifer Duffy of the Law Offices of Jennifer Duffy, APC represents plaintiffs in active nitrous oxide litigation involving Amazon.

Duffy is not merely investigating whether potential Amazon nitrous oxide claims may exist. Public court records identify her as counsel in filed litigation involving Amazon and alleged injuries associated with nitrous oxide products sold through its marketplace.

For example, the federal docket in Todd records Duffy’s application to appear on behalf of plaintiff Josh Todd and the court’s January 29, 2026 order admitting her pro hac vice. The filed Lira complaint also identifies the Law Offices of Jennifer Duffy, APC and Jennifer Duffy as counsel for the plaintiffs.

The August 2026 Todd order further states that the plaintiffs in Finnegan, Lira, Bogusta, and Krouse are represented by the same counsel as Todd. The court’s order therefore provides independent judicial documentation connecting counsel in Todd to a broader group of Amazon-related nitrous oxide cases.

Claims Involving Nitrous Oxide Purchased Through Amazon

The circumstances of a nitrous oxide purchase can be relevant when evaluating a potential product liability claim. The pending Amazon cases concern nitrous oxide products allegedly sold through Amazon, including products offered by third-party sellers.

Potential claims are fact-specific. Relevant information may include the product and brand used, where and when it was purchased, the Amazon account or order history associated with the purchase, frequency and duration of use, medical symptoms, diagnoses, treatment, and other evidence connecting the product exposure to the alleged injury.

People who still have access to their Amazon purchase history may wish to preserve relevant order information, receipts, product names, seller information, emails, photographs, packaging, and medical records. The existence of an Amazon purchase alone does not establish a legal claim, and the viability of any potential case depends on its individual facts and applicable law.

The Law Offices of Jennifer Duffy, APC is currently evaluating potential claims involving serious injuries following nitrous oxide use, including claims involving products purchased through Amazon. Information about the current case-evaluation process is available at NitrousLawsuit.com.
