11 products, deservedly excluded from the Amazon catalogs

Amazon is known all over the world, and on its website you can find a huge number of different products from different categories, but some items were banned for sale.

Amazon is one of the most popular platforms where you can buy different things. The assortment is regularly updated, and it seems that you can find and purchase anything, but it is not. For various reasons, some products have been excluded from the electronic catalogs of these companies, we'll talk about them.

1. T-shirts "I love Hitler"

On the shirt you can put different inscriptions, but in some cases they are too provocative. The excitement was caused by things on which was the inscription "I love Hitler". In 2008, Amazon withdrew them from the sale. The reason was the statement published by the World Jewish Congress.

2. Collars with internal spikes

On the American site, you can purchase dog collars with teeth on the inside, which are used during training, so that animals are more obedient. Subordinate to them makes the pain caused by thorns. In addition, if used improperly, they can pierce the dog's neck, and even cause death. In Britain, this product is not allowed on Amazon. Animal advocates are working to ensure that such collars are removed from trading platforms in other countries.

3. Video games with violent scenes

In 2006, a game called RapeLay was released in Japan, in which scenes of sexual violence are present. The scenario involves an attack on women in different situations. For some time it was sold on Amazon, but after reasonable criticism and several complaints, it was decided to remove the goods from the catalog.

4. Cases in the form of a pistol

For the iPhone, there were invented cases in the form of a pistol, which turned out to be very realistic. After they went on sale, it was almost immediately banned. This was quite an objective explanation: American police said that such a corps can create many unpleasant and even dangerous situations. In addition, there is a federal law that prohibits the manufacture of items that are too realistic to imitate weapons. In addition, Amazon urged retail outlets not to sell illegal accessories.

5. Designer NeoCube

The Commission for the Safety of Goods in 2012 sued the company that produces magnetic toys in the form of balls (from which you can make different geometric shapes). An unusual designer was popular with both adults and children. As a result, it was recognized that the product is hazardous to health, as it does not comply with safety standards. There are more than 5 thousand cases when children during the game swallowed small magnetic balls that block the intestines, and they have to be removed by surgery. Manufacturers did not indicate on the packaging that the designer is dangerous to health. As a result, Amazon and other companies withdrew the goods from sale.

6. Meat of dolphins, whales and sharks

Amazon Japan until 2012 sold meat of marine animals that are endangered, although it supported a wave of protest. The withdrawal of these products from the assortment occurred after a public outcry, when the petition collected more than 200 thousand signatures. It is interesting that the teeth of all these animals are still on sale on the site. Limitations have affected the implementation of animal furs that are threatened with extinction.

7. Obscene e-book

Many Amazon users wrote complaints about the availability of an e-book that called for violence against children. At the same time, the company defended it, pointing out that the employees did not want to censor the authors. After the availability of such a horrible product on the known resource told CNN, it was immediately deleted. Buyers were outraged by why Amazon employees generally allowed the appearance of such a product on sale.

8. Confederation Flag

A well-known American company has joined a wide list of firms that have refused to sell a flag and other goods that are related to racial discrimination. Recall that the Flag of the Confederation in the southern states of America began to be considered a symbol of the split of society because of racial disagreements.

9. Foie gras

If you do not already know, foie gras is obtained in a terrible way: geese are closed in small cages in which they can not move, and are constantly fed through a tube until the size of their liver is increased by 10 times. The Animal Protection Group organized the company, making graphic images and videos about how to get this delicacy. This material they began to distribute on the Internet and showed the leadership of the British Amazon. As a result, animal advocates have reached their goal, and starting in 2013, foie gras and products that include it have been removed from the catalog.

10. Leggings with the gods of India

In 2014, they began selling leggings, which were depicted images of Hindu gods and goddesses. They produced the company Yizzam, and sold a "masterpiece" for $ 50 per piece. After a while, Amazon refused to sell them, and the reason was a complaint filed by the president of the General Society of Hinduism. He demanded that 11 samples of leggings be removed from sale, arguing that the Hindu gods and goddesses are meant for worship, and not for decorating their legs, buttocks and crotches.

11. The costume "Lady Boy"

There are many different funny costumes for entertainment, and one of them consisted of a dress with a large penis attached and an overhead chest. The public did not like this outfit, so they created a petition addressed to the management of Amazon, so that this product was withdrawn from sale. Their request was granted.
