SEATTLE (AP) — A federal environmental agency has ordered Seattle-based Amazon.com, Inc. for the third time in three years to stop selling illegal pesticides on its online marketplace, saying the chemicals pose a health risk to people and pets exposed to the products. The Seattle Times reports that the Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday its Seattle office issued an order last month requiring Amazon to take down listings for dozens of products the agency deemed dangerous, including some products claiming to kill viruses. Amazon in a statement says that it put processes in place to proactively block unregistered pesticides and products from making inaccurate COVID-19 claims before they are listed.
