Amazon has to do better with who they allow selling products in their marketplace.
Didn’t they see what happened with H&M?
Children’s clothes bearing the slogan “Slavery gets sh-t done” have been pulled from sale by online retail giant Amazon after criticism from shoppers and anti-slavery groups.
A range of products featuring the slogan, from mugs and bags to T-shirts modeled by young children, were listed by third-party sellers and have been removed from sale, Amazon said.
While the slavery-themed products are no longer available to buy on Amazon’s UK website, bags bearing the slogan were still on sale on the U.S.-based Amazon.com on Monday.
The sale of such items by a major retailer trivializes the global drive to end modern slavery, said charities Anti-Slavery International (ASI) and International Justice Mission (IJM) UK.
“If it is meant to be funny, it fails miserably,” Jakub Sobik of ASI told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone.
I took a look this morning and it appears they have been pulled from the US site thankfully.
