Sold, Shipped, and Out of Compliance: The Dangerous Goods Crisis Hidden Inside E-Commerce

Millions of dangerous goods ship non-compliantly every day—and the platforms may not legally be responsible. Yet.

From a garage seller shipping butane on a passenger aircraft to a major platform spending $30M to drive third-party compliance—e-commerce has a dangerous goods problem that’s hiding in plain sight. This session examines the regulatory gap that allows marketplace platforms to avoid shipper liability, the real-world enforcement challenges PHMSA and DOT face at scale, and what leading companies are doing to get ahead of this issue before regulators close the loophole. Positive, solutions-forward framing featuring Walmart’s internal compliance investment as a model.
