Amazon in Trouble After Selling Doormats With Religious Figures
E-commerce portal Amazon in trouble after selling doormats with images of Hindu Gods on them.
Amazon found itself in trouble on Saturday night after it was discovered that the website had doormats with Hindu gods and goddesses on them for sale.
#BoycottAmazon soon started trending on social media with outraged people venting out on the company.
The door mats are being sold on the US edition portal of the company.
Things took a turn for the worse, after people realized that the website also had Islamic themed door mats for sale
Amazon, a platform on which various retailers sell their products, is not directly responsible for selling products like these since they belong to individual retailers.
The particular retailer Rock Bull seems to be a merchandising chain cashing in on things like religiously themed phone cases, mouse pads, t-shirts etc.
Meanwhile, Amazon has taken down most of the products that triggered the backlash.
