According to The Verge, Amazon responded to user posts and deleted all these pictures from the site. It seems that the situation affected only the British version of the resource. Pictures appeared only at those sellers who had almost no reviews.
Amazon also promised to take action on the people who posted such images. Who is to blame, however, is not yet clear.
