Amazon has removed racist images that appeared on some listings for Apple AirPods and other headphones in the UK. The images appeared on Amazon UK site in search results for ‘AirPods’ and ‘bluetooth headphones’, media reported.

Some users went to Twitter to post screenshots of search results for ‘AirPods’ and ‘bluetooth headphones’ that appeared on the e-commerce site. ‘Instead of photos of headphones, the search results showed images that contained the N-word,’ said the report. The listings seemed to be limited to the UK site, and appeared on the pages of new Amazon sellers. The e-commerce behemoth requires third-party sellers to follow its content guidelines or risk having their accounts removed.

Last month, five of Amazon’s foreign websites were placed on a blacklist by the Donald Trump administration. The e-commerce platforms in the UK, Germany, France, India and Canada were added to the ‘notorious markets’ list. Amazon said the move was politically motivated.
