After jpayoute reported on the limitations on emergency contraceptives yesterday, Amazon is now implementing similar restrictions.
Amazon’s limit, which temporarily caps purchase of the contraceptives at three units per week, went into effect on Monday, a spokesperson for the e-commerce giant confirmed to The Associated Press. The company did not share further details on what emergency contraceptive products were limited for purchase, but a listing showed the cap applied to Plan B, the popular “morning after” pill.
Limiting purchases is standard practice that helps retailers prevent stockpiling and reselling at higher prices. “Many of our products have online purchase limits in place,” a Walmart spokesperson said. “During times of fluctuating demand, these limits may change.”
