Amazon Fights Back Against Fake Coronavirus Products

COVID-19, the disease caused by the recent coronavirus outbreak, has people scared. Nobody wants to get sick, and even if the virus won't kill you, it's reasonable to do whatever you can to avoid getting sick.

That has led to people buying items like masks -- which the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has said don't help -- and hand sanitizer. It has also created a booming market for products that target people's fears about coronavirus and don't actually work.

That's a problem for Amazon.com, (NASDAQ: AMZN) which has had to crack down on products making claims about effectiveness against the virus.
