Denmark plans to block the websites of Amazon.com Inc. and other online retailers if they don’t do more to stop the sale of dangerous products on their platforms.
The Danish parliament passed legislation on Thursday making it possible to lock out the retailers if they fail to abide by product safety rules in the European Union. The first course of action would be fines, before blocking websites; the new legislation allows for larger penalties than previously.
