CNBC: Amazon enacts safety rules

CNBC reported Friday that Amazon has alerted vendors sell goods of penalties it is putting in place for any shipments of packages that

violate its safety standards. Possible triggers for financial penalties include sharp objects, leaking fluids, electrical hazards, shoddy pallets and weight violations. More than 40 Amazon shipments came under scrutiny this year by the U.S. Department of Transportation, with the new rules having taken effect exiting November.
