Former NY druggie sues Amazon over brain cells he lost doing whip-its sold by the site: ‘I never used to be this spacey’

It’s a case for the “high” court.

A former New York druggie is suing Amazon over brain cells he killed doing “whip-its” for years — claiming the company knew the nitrous oxide canisters it sold him weren’t really for “culinary” use, according to a new lawsuit.

Felix Krouse, 33, of Buffalo, sucked down the so-called “laughing gas” to get high for nearly three years and now suffers from neurological damage, memory loss and tremors, according to the lawsuit, filed in Seattle Federal Court last week.

“I never used to be this spacey,” Krouse, who’s now unemployed, told The Post Wednesday. “It’s harder to perform tasks;  I’ll go downstairs to get something and forget why I went down there.”

 “I want Amazon held accountable. I want the book thrown at them,” he fumed. 

In the lamebrain lawsuit, Krouse claims he didn’t know that inhaling the gas was a health risk when he became addicted to it in 2022.

“To take advantage of a legal loophole, [Amazon] claimed their products were intended for culinary use. They were not,” the suit states.  “[The firm] intended their products to be inhaled by consumers for recreational purposes and marketed them accordingly.”

As proof, the lawsuit  points to reviews from shoppers who describe getting stoned on the colorfully packaged canisters.

“Stuff gives me a rush of dopamine and euphoric relief as it kills my brain cells and massages the back of [my] brain,” one user wrote, according to the lawsuit.

Another recommended inhaling the gas with balloons, adding, “This stuff is really clean.”

The Amazon.com website passed the nitrous oxide canisters off as safe and legal, the suit states. The gas is sometimes used by chefs to create whipped cream and foams for fancy, high-end dishes.

“There’s no age limit or limit on how many you can buy. It’s so scummy. They know this is a problem and they’re not doing anything about it, ” Krouse said.

Amazon allegedly “encouraged consumers to ingest massive and dangerous doses” of the gas, the suit states.

Krouse’s buying habits should have been flagged by Amazon because it was clear he wasn’t using the cartridges for culinary purposes, and  was likely suffering from addiction, the lawsuit states.

Amazon, however, made no effort to limit his purchases or take any action to intervene, according to the lawsuit.

“Amazon actually still recommends [whip-its] to me all the time. I go online to get bedsheets or something — and it’s triggering,” said Krause, who stopped using the drug in January 2025.

The firm “knew or should have known that there was a substantial likelihood that consumers who purchased their products, like Plaintiff, would use those products recreationally by inhaling nitrous oxide and that doing so would put them at significant risk of suffering injuries such as those detailed above,” the lawsuit states.

Krouse now seeks an unspecified amount of cash for injuries, which also include  impaired balance, memory loss and nerve-related pain.

“I don’t care if I get any money. I don’t want anybody else to go through this,” he said.

The lawsuit also names nitrous oxide canister sellers Galaxy Gas, Happy Supply,  and Xuzhou Basic Industry as defendants along with Amazon.com

Amazon didn’t return a request for comment from the Post Wednesday.
