I wonder if he will be able to recover any of his losses from this company? I know he is reviewing these cables, so hes taking a certain amount of risk, but imagine if someone bought this cable for their new device. I would be pretty pissed if I bought a new device and a new USB cord to charge it and poof out goes the magical smoke and my USB didn't work anymore.

He might have a case. It was sold as an USB cable but clearly it is not actually an USB cable. False advertisement if not anything else.

Establishing liability seems easy. Winning a judgment in small claims court ought to be straightforward. Actually collecting on that judgment could be a challenge depending on where the company is located and how they do business.

I agree. That is really what I was wondering. Will he be able to see any money from this.

The company has "surj" in the name, maybe it's truth in advertising after all :)

He may even have a case against Amazon directly, depending on the circumstances of listing.

Honestly, I don't think he'd need a case against Amazon for this. If the original company refuses to pony up and Amazon was made aware, I feel like they'd just do it since it would be good PR to help make it right since what he's doing is a huge service for Amazon's customers.
