I think the speed to remove the noted items isn’t suspect; it’s what I would expect a responsible company to do in this scenario.

However, I am curious to see how Amazon handles the other drugs. Seems like pausing the sale of the entire category is the right call



The category these supplements were listed under is "Sports Nutrition Endurance & Energy Products" with some legitimate products listed under it. I doubt Amazon would delist the entire category. But also, something tells me that sellers would just list products under a different category without any meaningful consequences.

E.g. these or similar tainted supplements could be listed under "Health, Household, and Body Care" (a very broad category that already has products like "stripfast5000 Fire Bullet Capsules with K-CYTRO for Women and Men" listed under it), etc.


Amazon bans all sellers that ever attempt to sell/list anything Amazon bans even if the ban was not made public (unless they pay their "consultants" closely connected to managers to unban them of course).
