Marketing consultant Fabio Tresoldi, 69, bought the Chinese-made Vevor power tool in order to do some work at his home in London’s Docklands.

But he ended up injured when the blade sliced into his digit, leading to a partial amputation of the index finger on his dominant hand. Mr Tresoldi complained to Amazon and then launched a High Court claim for up to £60,000 in compensation on the basis that the company sold him a “defective” product.
