That's an implied contract between the seller and the buyer, similar to the ones you see on parking permit tickets that say the property owner isn't responsible for damages.
If I can show that the property owner, or in this case Amazon knew about the safety problems with something but continued to sell it, they can be liable. If they don't want that risk, then they shouldn't warehouse and manage inventory for sellers.
Chilton's guides were so useless and vague to start with that you'd have a hard time proving it was for the car on the cover, let alone that Chilton was negligent in something.
That implied contract can be enforced with or without the middleman.
You have to prove that Amazon knew about the problems, which it seems they did
It's a gutpunch to retailers and the consumers are going to feel the repercussions.
I've been in e-commerce longer than Amazon. Interesting to hear your take on it and I'm sure it's shared by a lot of people. That comes off as snide or dismissive but it is authentic.
Great conversation and I thank you for it

I think we've exhausted everybody else at this point
