If it goes inside or is applied directly onto our bodies, or our pet's body, we generally no longer shop for it at Amazon, because Amazon will not take responsibility for authenticating the product. Other retailers will, without much of a price difference.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoMaybe it's just my old school expectations and ethics but to me you've just made an arguement for not buying anything at all from Amazon. If they don't care about me and mine, why should I show them any love at all?
- danudey 9y agoI also won't shop for a lot of electrical-related products on Amazon ever since Apple bought a bunch of (sold and fulfilled by Amazon) counterfeit "Apple" macbook power adapters.
- donarb 9y agoApple bought a bunch?
- noitsnot 9y agoAmazon sourced charging cables from a third-party (Mobile Star) and listed them as 'by Apple' and 'shipped and sold by Amazon'. Apple then purchased them, probably realizing they didn't sell them to Amazon or people were having problems like fires. In the end, Apple sued Mobile Star for counterfeiting. http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2016/10/apple-sues-mobile-star-for-selling-counterfeit-power-adapters-and-charging-cables-through-amazon.html http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2016/10/apple-su...

- robryan 9y agoAmazon is doing something about this. It has become very hard to get approved for "Topicals" now unless you are at least selling some brands where you have authorisation direct from the brands. As of the past few weeks Amazon are also going to existing sellers and requesting the same documentation: Certificate of Analysis (COA) or FDA orange book application number or Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certificate It is still unknown as to how much of a sellers range Amazon will expect this documentation for.
