Amazon keeps a list of everything you buy...If you buy your emergency supplies from them they will have a ready list to turn over to the government should the government want to know what you've bought...HC

: (Natural News) A thorough investigation by The Wall Street
: Journal (WSJ) has revealed that Jeff Bezos’ Amazon retail
: empire is currently selling thousands of products on its
: website that are contaminated, mislabeled, not allowed for
: sale in the United States, or outright banned from the
: consumer marketplace.

: Everything from toys to supplements to safety gear was
: determined to be not quite what it was labeled as, which is
: a direct result of Amazon relinquishing control over its
: store to countless vendors from around the world, none of
: which appear to be monitored or vetted for the things they
: are selling to consumers.

: Rather than Amazon keeping close tabs on the items it sells,
: the company has “ceded control” of its store, according to
: the WSJ, and now operates more like a “flea market.” And
: perhaps the worst part about this is the fact that Amazon
: is violating its own user policies with this setup,
: demonstrating that the corporate giant has, in many ways,
: gone completely off the rails.

: While competitor Walmart tests most or all of the products it
: sells, or allows to be sold, on its website, Amazon does
: not appear to be testing much of anything. As a result,
: many Amazon products are unsafe or illegal, and very little
: is being done, at least so far, to address this massive
: problem.

: Amazon responds to WSJ investigation by claiming the company
: is “proactive,” then pulls 57 percent of exposed listings

: This truth bomb by the WSJ reflects exactly what Mike Adams,
: the Health Ranger, also discovered during recent product
: testing at his Consumer Wellness Center (CWC) Labs. In case
: you missed it, a line of probiotics supplements sold by
: Amazon was found to contain both lead and aluminum at
: levels higher than the legal limit for dietary supplements.

: In other words, there is obviously a problem at Amazon that
: needs to be addressed. But rather than fess up to the fact
: that the company has severely dropped the ball on ensuring
: that product safety for its customers, the retail giant is
: instead doubling down with claims that it has long employed
: an “industry-leading safety and compliance program.”

: In an official statement on the company’s blog, Amazon claimed
: that it properly vets sellers whenever they create an
: account, and scans the product listings of each one to
: ensure that nothing is in violation of either Amazon’s or
: the government’s policies and regulations.

: Amazon even went so far as to claim that it is “proactive”
: when it comes to catching problems early, which is ironic
: when considering the fact that the company responded to the
: WSJ investigation by pulling down upwards of 57 percent of
: the product listings mentioned in the report.

: What this means is that it took an outside media source, in
: this case the WSJ, to get the ball rolling on what Amazon
: claims to have been doing all along. The fact that Amazon
: missed these thousands of questionable, and in some cases
: illegal, items on its own proves that the company is hardly
: “proactive” on anything, and is, in fact, negligent when it
: comes to maintaining a safe and legal platform for
: consumers to buy and sell goods.

: “I’ve been [sending] my feedback to Amazon for many years now
: and they never listened,” wrote one Yahoo! Finance
: commenter in response to the news.

: “I told them you are a great trusted company and you don’t
: want to become another eBay. Later I found out why they
: don’t listen or care. Because they put profitability above
: customer satisfaction. Each and every Chinese seller on
: Amazon is a revenue increase because Amazon charges them
: big fat fees to list their items.”
