Amazon in the recent move is seen telling the sellers to get rid of the products that claim to kill the coronavirus once for all. The company this week has warned all the third party traders this week to get rid of the products claiming that the treatment is available only to cure the virus should be get rid of their listing. It has affected more than 20 nations in the recent past killing not less than 2000 people with more than 75k getting badly affected. Earlier the media reported that Amazon has top tech giants whom the company has met to talk about stopping the fake news about the virus using their platforms.
Amazon has a platform offering books, which seems to have feared a lot about the virus while Vitamin C products could have boosted well that seems to have come up in the past few days with the cure of the said virus. Now, Amazon is seen coming up cracking down over the mentions of the virus in the listed products in the marketplace. In one of the instances, the tech giant has asked to get rid of the medicine as they have been putting the unapproved medicines on their store. The tech giant then removed the same as there was no action from the sellers. The e-commerce has categorically stated in an email asking the sellers to get off such products or they would take action by removing their products.
It stated categorically in the email that only the time tested medicines having the approval of FDA would be listed in Amazon, while all the others would face the music. However, the media group reports claim that Amazon although has issued the email to all but it seems to have gone slow in removing the medicines from their listing in a big way. It also stated that the reason why Amazon seems to have gone slow on this is due to the loss of sales that could come down after the removal of these drugs or medicines. It went on to further claim that Amazon has been callous previously on a wide array of medicines that come expired and even unsafe to the customers. Thus the sellers promoting proper medicines but are seen sending the unsafe and expired products are to be checked by Amazon after all they should also feel the onus about it.
