Amazon’s Prime Day sales have been “a major cause of injuries” for warehouse workers who pick and pack customer orders at facilities across the United States, according to a report released Tuesday, July 16, 2024.

The report from Sen. Bernie Sanders draws information from a year-long Senate committee investigation into Amazon's safety practices and referred to internal company data from 2019 and 2020. The report said peak shopping times resulted in the “highest weekly injury rates” for warehouse workers.
