A motion to dismiss by defendant Teenitor (a Chinese third-party Amazon seller) for insufficient service of process was denied by the Western District of Texas. The ruling is a routine procedural order that keeps the product-liability case alive against Teenitor, but has no material financial or operational impact on Amazon itself, which is named as a co-defendant only in a ministerial capacity as the platform host.
