3 NJ Amazon workers have died in the last month. Federal safety officials are investigating why.

Less than two weeks after an Amazon warehouse employee died in Carteret, New Jersey, a worker in another facility fell off a three-foot ladder and struck his head — then died a few days later. The following week, a third worker at a different location died. 

All three fatalities are under investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a spokesperson confirmed to Gothamist. 

The three deaths in as many weeks come amid increased scrutiny by labor leaders and lawmakers to Amazon’s growing footprint in the state.
