WSJ found third-party merchants selling thousands of unsafe, mislabeled, and banned products on Amazon

Amazon third-party merchants were found to have over 4,000 items deemed unsafe by federal agencies, labeled misleadingly, or banned by federal regulators.

These listings, many of which were changed or taken down after The Wall Street Journal alerted Amazon of them, included toys and medications where unsafe products can be especially dangerous.

Third-party sellers are the driving force behind Amazon's retail business, but if it's unable to effectively moderate their listings, it could damage Amazon's reputation.

A recent ruling in the US could mean that Amazon is liable for defective purchases made on its marketplace, which might lead to a number of suits against Amazon and it having to regulate its platform more heavily.
