Amazon warns customers of frequently returned products.
Amazon has started displaying a warning label on some product pages for items that are frequently returned, likely in response to increased return rates during the pandemic and the company's financial struggles. The label reads, "Frequently returned item: Check the product details and customer reviews to learn more about this item." The label is currently only visible on some third-party vendor products fulfilled by Amazon, and it is unclear if it will be rolled out more widely. The move may encourage sellers to modify their listings or products to reduce returns, which can be costly for retailers.
