The problem is, I don't see how the question will be decided unless some K2 owners get together in a class action of some kind to force Amazon into court. I suspect that Amazon will be very careful not to do something that will expose it in that fashion.

As a practical matter, Amazon has K2 owners over a barrel. If you don't want to be over that barrel, buy something else.
