Do not buy Anglewide injectors from Amazon

Do not buy Anglewide injectors from Amazon. Faulty leaking/stuck open injectors caused hydrolock in my engine and Amazon refuses to take any responsibility for the outcome. These injectors were installed in my pilot for 3 days before this catastrophic failure. I now need a new/used engine over a failed $70 part.

You can remove the anglewide part. Don't buy injectors from Amazon period.

can't say I've ever purchased anything off amazon with only 2 reviews. OE Honda Injectors almost never actually go bad to the point where they need full out replacement (referring to the old style, the non-DI, port injection style)

you could have probably gotten away with sending the OE ones to a shop to be cleaned & rebuilt and flow tested.
amazon is certainly not going to take responsibility for anything on their website, especially stuff they don't actually own. those "injectors" are owned by some chinese company that probably changes names every 6 months to keep selling their parts after enough bad reviews post up and their account gets banned

also it wasn't a $70 part that destroyed your engine... it was an $11.66 part that destroyed it. a single SMP injector from rockauto for our vehicle's is $70

looking again at the full listing, it says 2 reviews but those were just people who left a star rating, not a single person actually wrote a post purchase review using words.

I have purchased many parts from amazon website but it needs to say ships from and sold by amazon.com.

have you tried going directly to the seller? if they don't respond, file a complaint against the seller through amazon.
you might even be able to file a complaint against the company through the BBB. some jurisdictions might have small claims court for this sort of thing? I remember a guy took the auto parts store I worked at to court over an oil filter we sold him that apparently damaged his engine after installing it.
