Amazon removes another major accessory maker (Update: Amazon response) - Android Authority

Original article, June 16, 2021 (02:58 PM ET): Add another name to the list of major phone accessory makers pulled from Amazon’s web store over claims of dodgy reviews. The Verge reports that Amazon has removed all RavPower products from its shop days after the Wall Street Journal revealed that the battery and charger company was offering incentives for reviews.

The WSJ‘s Nicole Nguyen ordered a RavPower charger only to discover an offer for a $35 gift card if she left a review.

While RavPower parent firm Sunvalley stressed that the company didn’t insist on a five-star rating, that didn’t matter — the offer violated a 2016 Amazon policy barring monetary rewards for reviews.
