I would have liked to know more about how these devices cause issues, but other than that one shortcoming, this is an informative and factual article about products that could be found on Amazon. The tone is neutral and does not use any obviously slanted language to describe the products or Amazon.

This article leaves a lot to be desired. I'm sure everything it says is true, but it lacks detail that is needed to fully understand how big of a deal this is and what actions will take place because of these events.

I went into this piece expecting the usual anti-big tech hit piece, making something out of nothing. Although it appears Amazon is not legally at fault for the activities in question, it is worthy of coverage and Amazon should be re-reviewing their policy internally towards such devices, as well as their Amazon Choice recommendation system. Author Jon Fingas did well not to overstep and use this story as an excuse to attack Amazon, but instead framed it as a heads up to Amazon that they could be doing better in this area.

More then selling unlicensed cell tower signal boosters which have knocked out signals for entire neighborhoods, the article includes other listings on Amazon for dangerous items which have been fatal to some buyers. The article cites a WSJ investigation which " found at least 2,000 listings on Amazon for toys and medications that lacked warnings about health risks to children. Reporters also unearthed toxic paint strippers, infant sleeping mats linked to suffocation, dietary supplements containing illegal prescription drugs, toys containing lead and products that falsely stated they were cleared by a federal agency". This article once again informs us of capitalism's complete disregard for anything other then profits and of the potentially fatal consequences of de regulation. The warning "Buyer Beware" has never been more true.
