Seattle Now: Prime Day's safety problem
Today is one of the busiest days in the retail calendar; it's Amazon Prime Day. An investigation found serious safety concerns for Amazon warehouse workers, spiking around Prime Day.
The report also claims Amazon is hiding worker injury rates from the public.
Amazon strongly refutes allegations they've misled people. The retailer says they've committed over $1 billion to new safety investments.
Guest: Will Evans, reporter at Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting.
