There have been concerns about the involvement of Amazon and other online retail platforms in human trafficking, specifically the use of forced labor in the production of goods sold on their platforms.

Amazon and other companies have taken steps to address this issue, including implementing policies and procedures to prevent forced labor in their supply chains and partnering with organizations that work to combat human trafficking.
