Amazon Sold ‘Whippets’ Meant To Get Users High, Caused Neurological Damage, Lawsuit Claims
pugetpress.com

Amazon is accused of knowingly selling nitrous oxide products designed for recreational inhalation, including one man who claims he got high and suffered serious neurological effects.

A complaint filed in Seattle federal court Tuesday, April 14, accuses Amazon and multiple manufacturers of selling nitrous oxide canisters under the guise of “culinary” use while allegedly knowing customers were using them to get high.

The lawsuit was brought by New York resident Felix Krouse, who says he suffered lasting health issues after using the products.

According to the complaint, inhaling nitrous oxide “produces a short but powerful euphoric high,” but can cause serious harm when used outside a medical setting. The lawsuit alleges companies ignored those risks and instead leaned into them.

“Defendants knew these risks, ignored them, and sold nitrous oxide canisters to the public in a format or volume that facilitated and encouraged consumers to ingest massive and dangerous doses,” the complaint states. 

The products were marketed as being for whipped cream or culinary use, but the lawsuit flatly rejects that claim.

“To take advantage of a legal loophole, Defendants claimed their products were intended for culinary use. They were not,” the filing states. 

The complaint goes further, alleging the products were intentionally designed and marketed for recreational use.

“Defendants intended their products to be inhaled by consumers for recreational purposes and marketed them accordingly,” the lawsuit states. 

Krouse says he used the products for years and suffered serious medical issues, including vitamin B12 deficiency, tremors, memory loss, and problems with balance and walking. 

The lawsuit also points to customer reviews on Amazon as evidence that the products were widely used to get high.

One review cited in the complaint reads: “Stuff gives me a rush of dopamine and euphoric relief as it kills my brain cells and massages the back of brain.” 

Another referenced review describes using balloons to inhale the gas — a method with no culinary purpose.

“This stuff is really clean… if you are using it for balloons, you don’t need to buy the regulator,” the review states. 

“Balloons are used to facilitate the inhalation of nitrous oxide and have no role in the culinary use of nitrous oxide,” the lawsuit states.

The complaint also alleges Amazon continued selling the products even after federal regulators raised alarms.

In March 2025, the FDA warned consumers “not to inhale nitrous oxide products from any size canisters, tanks, or chargers,” according to the filing.  Despite that warning, the lawsuit claims Amazon and other companies continued selling the products without adding new safety warnings or restricting access.

“Amazon continued to promote and distribute these products” even after the advisory, the complaint states. 

The lawsuit seeks damages for Krouse’s injuries and aims to hold Amazon and its partners accountable for what it describes as a business model built around a known misuse of the products.

Enough said.  You can’t write enough laws on paper to save retards from being retards.  What kind of society can’t be given access to nitrous chargers?  How pathetic is that society?  It’s nobodies fault but Krouse, so Krouse gets to deal with the consequences of his actions.  All the other people who are making desserts, pay no mind to this nonsense and as you were..

I have to admit there is a difference between little whippet cans and a giant tank. I would buy 20 or 30 cans and when they are gone i wouldnt get more for months. But the tank just sitting there was a temptation, instead just a few balloons on my LSD trip i was doing a bunch after work or when i was drinking and soon this tank i planned to have for a few months was gone in few days. I see how the form of giant tanks increases the danger of overconsumption. Its also cheaper, per balloon, the high cost of cans limits how much I buy and consume.

Nothing will happen to whippets but tanks are going have problems with regulation everywhere, zero legit uses. You have to add bittering agents to the racing tanks here where I live so no idea how these flavored clearly for inhaling tanks even got around those rules in the first place.

All said suing someone else because you did too much of something is lame, no one made you do it...

It's crazy to me people just do a bunch of a drug without ever researching anything about it. This is a well known side effect of doing too much nitrous. So now that this guy abused something he wants to pass the blame and ruin it for everyone. Take some accountability, this would be like suing an alcohol company after you drove drunk and crashed.

its well known today, age verification laws coming soon will leave future kids unable to search for the effects of the drugs they are using, imagine visiting erowid.org and it saying you cannot accsess the site because your computer says you are 16

LOL... I got some sweet deals on bulk nitrous with Subscribe & Save. :tongue2:

And once I bought it once, Amazon definitely plastered ads for all sorts of nitrous products on my feed on the regular. :lol:

Pretty easy to find the stuff though anyway.  Reputable manufacturers sell direct, Costco Business Warehouse has it at a great price and homie who lost his home in the Altadena fire even ordered a 20lb tank by mail a couple years back, which was a real riot. :biggrin:

But yeah, not something you want to do with any regularity.  At an absolute minimum, frequent users should take TWO solid WEEKS between use, combined with proper nutrition and generally healthy habits, and that's still cutting it close with regard to allowing your body to reproduce the enzymes it needs to allow your body to make practical use of B12.  It's a myth that you can just supplement with B12 while you're using, because it's the enzymes that get knocked out, so even if your serum levels of the vitamin are high, your body can't actually make any use of it.

The store I worked at as a teenager has the little canisters I made a little popper rig out of plumbing fittings that would fill a balloon. Used to steal them and sit in the warehouse inhaling nitrous. Can't imagine doing anything like that when you are out of your teenage years.

Either, the establishment completely misrepresents how drugs are used, or they tell you how.

What's really going to bake your noodle, later on is whippets...

Technically a chicken-and-egg argument, which came first, huffing induced brain damage or some retardation?
