That\u2019s why we are issuing cease-and-desist orders against 42 online retailers that have been selling these dangerous devices to New York City residents \u2014 including Target, Temu, Wayfair, Walmart, and Amazon. <!-- -->The safety of New Yorkers is not for sale.\u201d The city said the targeted devices exceed legal limits for speed, weight, or other safety requirements. The action follows a recent crash involving an illegal e-bike that killed a 17-year-old.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Rising fatalities reason behind Zohran Mamdani\u2019s notice to Amazon, Walmart and others<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>According to city data, since 2017 more than 45 people have died while riding illegal e-bikes, and over 14 fatalities have been linked to crashes involving illegal stand-up scooters. Mamdani emphasized that companies profiting from such sales are putting New Yorkers at risk. \u201cEvery family deserves to know that when their loved ones leave home, they will make it back safely,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Elon Musk is not pleased with Zohran Mamdani&#8217;s grocery stores idea<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Recently, Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticised New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his plan to open city-backed grocery stores that promise to sell some everyday food items at prices below traditional retailers. Responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter) that questioned how the proposed stores would operate, Elon Musk dismissed the plan and accused Mamdani of misleading New Yorkers. <!-- -->\u201cMamdani is a thief and a liar, plain and simple,\u201d Musk wrote in the post.<!-- --> The billionaire also argued that advances in AI and robotics, rather than government-backed programmes, would eventually make goods and services much cheaper or even free.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What is Zohran Mamdani&#8217;s grocery store plan<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Zohran Mamdani&#8217;s administration has proposed opening five city-backed grocery stores, with one planned for each of New York City&#8217;s five boroughs. The city has allocated $70 million in capital funding for the programme. <!-- -->The first store is expected to open in Hunts Point in the Bronx by the end of 2027, followed by locations in East Harlem, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Under the proposal, private grocery operators would handle day-to-day operations, including staffing, sourcing products and merchandising. The city would provide locations, cover major occupancy costs and set pricing and operating requirements. Mamdani&#8217;s administration says shoppers could save about 30% on a core basket of groceries. It estimates that the programme could save an average New Yorker about $90 a month, or roughly $1,000 a year.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/tech-news\/zohran-mamdani-sends-cease-and-desist-notice-to-amazon-walmart-and-40-other-companies-says-stop-selling-these-dangerous-devices\/articleshow\/133019541.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has issued a cease and desist notices to 42 online retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Wayfair and Temu parent PDD Holdings, over the sale of allegedly illegal high-speed e-bikes and e-scooters.
