FCC investigating Amazon and other retailers over alleged sale of banned products [Video]

Amazon and other retailers are under investigation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for allegedly marketing and selling banned equipment.

The investigation concerns the marketing and selling of illegal electronic devices, including radio frequency jammers, according to a report by NBC News that said it found nine independent sellers on Amazon recently selling jammers.

The outlet previously reported that several online retailers and drone technology companies were marketing radio frequency jammers as drone deterrence or privacy tools, which violate federal laws that prohibit such devices from being sold to U.S. consumers. The devices can be used to disable security cameras and block Wi-Fi networks, as well as to disrupt other communications and signals.

“We have several ongoing investigations into retailers, including Amazon, for potential violations of Commission rules related to the marketing and sale of equipment without proper FCC authorization,” the FCC told FOX Business in a statement.
