      You could read the article, it was a drink.

      with very few checks and balances in place to ensure the product he’s selling is safe and legal. “Releasing the drink was surprisingly easy,” Butler told WIRED. “I thought that the food and drinks licensing would stop me from listing it, so I started it out in this Refillable Pump Dispenser category. Then the algorithm moved it into drinks.”

      It’s almost like people expect that the things for sale are legal and safe, without first having people get harmed and having to report it.
