Heather Oberdorf took her dog for a walk, using a retractable leash. The dog lunged causing the D-ring on the collar to break. The leash recoiled hitting Oberdorf’s face and eyeglasses. She was permanently blinded in her left eye.

Judge Matthew Brann of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania dismissed the case finding that Amazon was not liable for Overdorf’s injuries.
