Amazon slammed for selling hardcore porn DVD in ‘Dad Gifts’ category

ANGRY parents have hit out at Amazon for including a hardcore porn film in its "Dad Gifts" section.

Shoppers said they were shocked to see the sex film "Dad is f***ing my girlfriend" appear in search results when they browsed the website for an appropriate present for their dad.

Parents fear children could see the 18-rated £16.95 DVD and other sex films on the website as they appear in search results.

The DVD - which was sold by a third-party seller called Meerkat Wholesalers - popped up on screen when you typed "dad gifts" into the search bar, according to shoppers.

After The Sun contacted Amazon about the DVD, it removed the title from its website - but other porn films are still listed online.

And we found that when you search for "porn film" on Amazon, explicit DVDs come up even when Amazon states it has excluded "adult items" from the results.

Amazon UK says that sellers are "not permitted" to sell any type of pornography on its website - but thousands of pornography items are available to buy.

Dad-of-two, James Lock, 46, of Solihull, West Midlands, saw the porno DVD when he was looking for gift ideas for his dad.

He said: "In amongst the usual stuff like BBQ utensils, car manuals, gardening gift sets and funny T-shirts which say 'Grumpy old git', or 'No 1 dad' novelty mugs was this sex film.

"I only typed in 'Dad Gifts' into the search menu. I wasn't expecting something so explicit to turn up.

"My two kids go on Amazon a lot to look for toys and ideas for presents to write on their letter to Father Christmas. I hate to think what would have happened if they'd found this DVD themselves.

"Amazon should be far more responsible with its listings. Anything pornographic needs to be removed immediately.

You can legally buy hardcore porn films from any shop, whether it's online or from a licensed sex shop.

But online sellers and mail order services could be prosecuted for selling porn films following a High Court ruling in 2005, according to The Guardian.

"There are places people can go to buy this sort of filth. You wouldn't come across this kind of thing in Tesco so why is it ok to sell on Amazon?"

An Amazon spokesman said: "All sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don’t will be subject to action including potential removal of their account.

"The product in question is no longer available."

Social media users have also hit out at Amazon and called for greater controls on the products it sells.

Writing on Facebook, Gina Morris said: "Completely gobsmacked that one of the world's biggest retailers sells porn so blatantly.

It's good these shocked parents don't live in Japan.
Amazon Japan sells hardcore adult DVDs, sold by and shipped directly from Amazon and even eligible for Prime. The only age verification for the "adult" category under DVDs is users have to click the link that says "Yes I'm 18 years or older."
