EBay Reviews Listings After Banned Gender-Test Kits Found Available for Delivery in India
EBay has initiated an internal review after Reuters reported that gender-prediction kits, including brands like SneakPeek and Peekaboo, were available for delivery to India, where prenatal sex determination is illegal under a 1994 law aimed at preventing female foeticide. Following the report, eBay removed nine such listings and stated it is assessing its controls to prevent visibility of these products in India. Indian authorities have also requested Google to block search results linking to these kits. Amazon's U.S. site lists similar products but does not ship them to India.
