State Farm sues Amazon for $308k over battery charger fire claim

Share

According to the filing, the insured purchased a SEIVI Rechargeable Batteries with Charger Compatible with Arlo Wireless Security Cameras from Amazon in June 2022. The product was listed under MORNGC but was stored, sold, and delivered by Amazon through its FBA program. About 18 months later, on or about December 21, 2023, the charger allegedly failed to shut off after the batteries reached full charge. What followed, according to the filing, was thermal runaway — the batteries overheated, exploded, and expelled their internal components, igniting nearby items and setting off the property’s sprinkler system. The result was fire, smoke, and water damage to the insured’s property in Pasadena.
