Amazon removed a shirt depicting George Floyd's death, but similar products remain on the site
Amazon removed a listing for a children's tee-shirt featuring a photo of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck.In a statement to the BBC, Amazon said that the seller's account was being investigated and sellers who violate guidelines may have their accounts removed.
While the shirt's original posting has been removed, a review conducted by Insider found similar apparel listings featuring the photo of Derek Chauvin have appeared on Amazon.
Screenshots of the since-removed listing show that the garment was described as having a "vivid print" and being "state of the art," while the product's 'occasion' designation described the shirt as "great for casual.
The BBC reported that the similar items were designated as "out of stock," but as of Wednesday morning, recent listings appear to be available for shipping.
