One of the young people who died from sodium nitrite purchased on Amazon is Mr. Michael Scott. On December 21, 2020, Scott, then 27, purchased 98% pure sodium nitrite and a small scale on Amazon.com. Both arrived 2 days after ordering. And on the morning of December 27, three days after the sodium nitrite arrived, Mr. Ruth Scott, his mother, returned from the night shift as a nurse. It was found dead while floating.

According to Carrie Goldberg, an attorney who filed a lawsuit against Amazon on behalf of the late Scott's family, the 6% pure sodium nitrite sold on Amazon as a hardening salt to make homemade cured meats. Separately, high-purity sodium nitrite that is used in chemical experiments is sold. Most notably, on Amazon, cimetidine (trade name: Tagamet), which is used to prevent people who drink sodium nitrite from vomiting, a small scale, and a book used as a suicide manual, `` Peaceful Pill Handbook (Amazon version) '' etc. were sold bundled with sodium nitrite.

Calling them 'suicide kits,' Goldberg accuses Amazon of making it easier to bundle together a series of items used to commit suicide.



Goldberg and his colleagues, who previously collaborated on other social issues and have worked together on CBS's well-known I reached out to someone who is also the producer of the documentary program 60 Minutes . However, the producers introduced him to the news team because he couldn't get the 13 minutes needed to cover it on the show. As a result, Mr. Goldberg and others will be able to broadcast a 5-minute news program for two consecutive days.



And the bereaved families who are Mr. Goldberg's clients also decide to appear on the CBS program. It was a courageous decision for the bereaved family, who were plagued with guilt for missing the Amazon box containing sodium nitrite, to respond to the CBS interview, but ``National news about sodium nitrite suicide problem'' This is a unique opportunity to call attention to the situation,” and the words of the producer, who promised to conduct interviews in a caring and careful manner, pushed the backs of those who lost loved ones.

However, as soon as the date and time of the interview were decided, Mr. Goldberg contacted me to cancel the interview. The producer explained, ``To avoid the situation where someone who saw the program imitates and commits suicide with sodium nitrite,'' but Mr. Goldberg and others thought that ``it was crushed by the upper management of CBS.'' I was. Because CBS has partnered with Amazon to stream CBS shows on Amazon Prime Video. Also, the explanation that there is concern that the number of suicides will increase by talking about suicide is inconsistent with the fact that many suicide issues have been dealt with so far.



``CBS canceled an interview about our client suing Amazon for selling suicide kits to children who are now dead,'' Goldberg said. It made it clear to us how urgent the lawsuit is.'



Also, at the end of a series of tweets, Goldberg said, ``What is clear to us is that Amazon is knowingly profiting from suicide. , I will do it on Twitter and in court,' he said, expressing his enthusiasm for a legal battle against a large company that would atrophy even the major news media.
