It was unclear if the statement covered products sold worldwide or only in the U.K., and Amazon declined to elaborate.
Amazon's selling policies for third-party merchants include prohibiting "inappropriate or offensive behavior," which extends to information "in listings, content or images."
Still, as relayed by iNews in its story, a search of both Amazon's U.K. and U.S. sites found items including an "obsessive-compulsive action figure," which comes with a surgical mask and hypoallergenic moist towelette, as well as multiple t-shirts and coffee mugs with joking references to schizophrenia.
The retailer has found itself in hot water before over products with messages found to be objectionable by some, including a sweatshirt sold in 2017 describing anorexia as "like bulimia, except with self-control."
