The senators said the lack of information on how Amazon determines which products receive the badge has led them to question whether Amazon is using it to 'promote its own products over competitors' products, potentially disadvantaging smaller sellers on the platform'. — Reuters
WASHINGTON: Two US senators asked Amazon.com Inc chief executive Jeff Bezos on Monday how the "Amazon's Choice" badge on certain products is determined and whether the mark deceives consumers into purchasing "products of inferior quality".
"We are concerned the badge is assigned in an arbitrary manner, or worse, based on fraudulent product reviews," Democratic Senators Bob Menendez and Richard Blumenthal said in the letter to Bezos.
