Plenty of complete shit get labeled as "Amazon Choice." For example, "Amazon Choice" for "high security padlocks" is a poorly made Chinese knockoff that can be raked. ▶ this video
Would you know if you purchased a fake yeti tumbler[1], for example, if you didn't have a real one to compare to side-by-side? [1] link The "Amazon's Choice" for "high security lock" is actually a Chinese knockoff [2] but you wouldn't know that unless you are familiar with the original. [2] ▶ this video Even people dying doesn't seem to get products removed link >A 23-year-old man in Missouri purchased a motorcycle helmet from Amazon that was at the time listed as certified as meeting US Department of Transportation safety standards. Later that year, however, he was killed in a crash while riding. A federal investigation later found that the helmet did not meet DOT standards and was recalled. The WSJ, however, found the product still for sale, with an active listing promising compliance, until the WSJ contacted Amazon to inquire about it.
LockPickingLawyer (Youtube) has a series of videos on the poor quality of "Amazon Choice" for various locks. ▶ this video link link (Branded Amazon Basics) link link
Nothing about Amazon’s abuse of their customers surprises me anymore. Their “Amazon’s Recommemdation” is a joke too, and they’re associating their brand with garbage. ▶ this video Par for the Amazon course, cheap Chinese knockoffs. If they had anything other than a highly permissive refund system, they’d already be drowning in lawsuits. They must bleed refund money though, and I thought Bezos was all about right margins?
