Amazon is selling suicide kits and marketing them, including towards underage kids.
At least one family has attorneys trying to get the courts to rule that Amazon should not be allowed to sell a chemical that has no consumer use, is most commonly purchased for suicide.
Amazon.com actively markets products to shoppers to help them use the chemical for suicide.
Amazon has been accused, in legal documents, of deleting reviews from Amazon.com warning parents that their child purchased this, delivered in two days with a dead teenager a few days later.
Amazon does not verify the age of teenagers buying suicide kits.
Amazon is actively fighting the case. Amazon is unwilling to remove suicide kits from its store.
CBS News had agreed to air multiple segments on the story but has killed the story at the 11th hour.

That original post brought back some memories. I also remember getting refunds on bad playback from Apple around that time. The other thing about streaming standard definition during spotty internet access would drive me insane today.
