Are you getting ready for a cookout? If you head over to Amazon right now, you can pre-order the new grill from the retailer.

That sentence doesn't make a lot of sense, but Amazon thinks it does. The new charcoal colored earbuds have been the best-selling product in that category for over a day now without Amazon doing anything about it.

You can see for yourself.

I wouldn't pay much attention to the badges on Amazon products. The "Amazon's Choice" badge isn't a stamp that indicates any sort of quality. You wouldn't think to give it to products that you wouldn't think deserved it.

Though there, the company does clearly know it has a problem, and pursues large enforcement actions each year.

The Wall Street Journal wrote about a lot of random-letter-generator Chinese brands that appeared when you looked for products. It is fascinating to see how many of them are in the charcoal grill list.
