    Default Re: Liability As Online Seller

    My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Texas

    I want to start an import business and sell the items online. I want to sell an item similar to the Buckyballs. I am going to be importing these items from China and reselling them on eBay and Amazon. My fear/question is if someone swallows the balls on accident or something and gets sick or the magnets harm them, am I liable? Or is the manufacturer liable? How do I avoid this happening and getting sued?

    P.S. I don't have an LLC or anything like that.
    Your protect yourself with being careful what you buy, careful about labeling, and get good business liability and product liability insurance. This should be done whether you are a sole proprietor, an LLC or a Corp.
