Overview
- California resident Lisa Reingold filed a proposed class action in federal court in Seattle on August 21–22, alleging Amazon markets revocable licenses as permanent purchases.
- Reingold says she bought “Bella and the Bulldogs — Volume 4” in May 2025 for $17.79 and soon found the title no longer available in her Prime Video library.
- The suit cites AB-2426, alleging Amazon neither secures an explicit buyer acknowledgment of a license nor provides a clear, conspicuous disclosure, pointing to a small-font notice at the bottom of the confirmation screen.
- Plaintiffs allege violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Consumer Legal Remedies Act, seeking restitution, disgorgement, damages, injunctive relief, and class certification for California purchasers.
- Amazon had not publicly responded as of publication; the case, brought by Carson Noel PLLC and Bursor & Fisher, is at the pleading stage after earlier related cases produced mixed outcomes.
