A grandmother has accused Amazon of “promoting paedophilia” by selling t-shirts for children with the slogan “I love big c***” across them.
Virginia McSharry, 59, spotted the vile t-shirts after a friend complained to her about them being on sale on the platform in the United States.
She then checked whether people could order the shirts in the United Kingdom, and was “shocked to the core” to learn about the products.
The full-time carer said she believes the products risk sexualising children and has accused the retail giant of promoting paedophilia' by allowing the products on their platform.
Amazon have since responded to Virginia's claims and have removed the product in the United States and will continue to do so in the UK and across Europe too.
Virginia, from Isle of Bute, Scotland, said: "I'm shocked to the core about this. It's all very, very sinister.
"I was horrified. I can't even believe they're selling them anywhere.
"Who designs a t-shirt, or a coat, or a bag, for a two-year-old child that says that?"
She added: "I know someone that was hurt [abused] by somebody, there are so many paedophiles now.
"This is promoting paedophilia as it's sexualising kids.
"I've got a granddaughter, if you bought her one of these t-shirts I'd end up in jail."
Virgina said she she appealed to the retail giant after she found more than four of the products across Amazon's websites.

Virginia said: "I went on and checked it out. I had to write in those words on the t-shirt and it popped up.
"On the British website, it's got the picture of the chicken. On the US one, it just says the words.
"To advertise and say that – what's going on in people's heads?
"Then they've got school bags that say it. As much as these have been taken down, the question now is how the hell did they get up there in the first place?
"It's not a done deal just because they've taken them down, they need to answer that.
"I don't know who passes this stuff but the ones in France are still there. Why are they still there?
"Adults might wear that as a joke but it's not funny for kids."
