The tech giant's employees "offered the shipment without the requisite shipping papers or emergency response information, and did not mark, label, or properly package the shipment," according to the FAA. Amazon "failed to properly train its employees" for this kind of shipment, the FAA said. The shipment was on a FedEx flight from Whitestown, Ind. to Boulder, Colo., on September 16, 2013.
