Amazon 'aware' of warehouse injury risk, report finds

Quick Summary:

The e-commerce giant is accused of trying to misrepresent its safety record, but says a report "isn't grounded in reality".

It accused the Senate investigation of ignoring inconvenient facts, such as a decline in its injury rates and a recent court victory, which dismissed safety complaints.

Amazon said it was fair for the firm to focus safety comparisons on larger warehouses.
