On December 24, an investigation by The Wall Street Journal found that products recommended by "Amazon's Choice" may not always be trustworthy.

The investigation found that the company applied the "Amazon's Choice" label to certain products that were unsafe, mislabeled and violated its own policies. The label appeared on dozens of products that were banned, did not meet safety standards and had fake safety certificates. It was also used on controlled substances such as steroids and marijuana products, according to the Wall Street Journal.
