It will be a shock to most parents or guardians that they are expected to supervise their children under 18 browsing the site, that is the most popular shopping place in the world.

However an array of products were discovered by one consumer searching the site for ‘Men’s Gift Set’ who claims the ‘Joke Pill Medication’ appeared on page one.

The man who doesn’t want to be named was looking for Christmas gifts taking advantage of Black Friday discounts.

Speaking today he said: “I was shocked, this was not the sort of thing I was looking for and I certainly won’t be buying any.”

The bizarre stance by the e-commerce company is not obvious when accessing the site and no clear message is visible unless you have time view their privacy policy and scroll down to section 10 ‘Are Children allowed to use Amazon Services?’

The paragraph states: “Amazon Europe doesn’t sell products for purchase by children.

“We sell children’s products for purchase by adults.

“If you’re under 18, you may use Amazon Services only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.”

When contacted Amazon Press office said: “We will not be commenting on this story.”
