Amazon has removed the «extremely nasty» coronavirus mask for Halloween from sale. The online retailer has responded to a flurry of complaints over a creepy product depicting the COVID-19 virus with ominous eyes and mouth carved into it.
On the page of the mask, it was called «suitable for adults and teens,» but an online parent group had a different opinion — and called the accessory «very unpleasant.»
A latex-made horror mask sold for $ 18.70 with free shipping from Guangdong, China.
Another similar mask, sold by yangqingwen1456 from the Chinese city of Zhenjiang, cost $ 37.22.
The advertisement for the mask said the product was made from «natural, non-toxic material, environmentally friendly and beautifully colored.»
«This mask will help to attract the attention of guests at the party,» — stated on her page.
The description of the third mask for a series said that it is so «terrible and creepy that many children are afraid to approach.»
Amazon confirmed to LADbible that all products like these have been removed from their site.
A company spokesperson said: “All sellers must follow our sales rules, and those who do not follow them will be held liable — including deleting their account. We are removing this product. «
