AMAZON THEN ALSO HAS TO DIRECTLY NOTIFY THE AFFECTED CUSTOMERS THROUGH EMAIL AND BY POSTING RECALLS ON EACH CUSTOMER鈥橲 PERSONAL ACCOUNT PAGE. THIS ORDER APPLIES TO ALL PRODUCTS SOLD BY AMAZON AND PRODUCTS SOLD BY THIRD PARTY SELLERS ON THE SITE THROUGH AMAZON AND AMAZON MUST ISSUE A FULL REFUND IN THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE TO ANY CONSUMER WHO SUBMITS PROOF THAT THEY DESTROYED OR DISPOSED OF A RECALLED PRODUCT.
