Leaked documents show how Amazon misled the public about warehouse safety issues

During the pandemic, Americans have become even more reliant on online shopping -- a realm Amazon continues to dominate. But the company’s vast inventory, fast shipping and low prices come with a dangerous tradeoff: an increased risk to workers rushing to fulfill orders. Will Evans of the Center for Investigative Reporting’s Reveal has an update on injury patterns at Amazon’s busy warehouses.

Editor's Note: The final graphic on injury rates in this story was changed from an earlier version. The new graphic is identical to one that appears earlier in the story.
