    May 6, 2019 The Honorable Richard Blumenthal U.S. Senate 706 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Edward Markey U.S. Senate 255 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Chris Van Hollen U.S. Senate 110 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Senator Blumenthal, Senator Markey, and Senator Van Hollen, Thank you for your April 1, 2019 letter regarding tobacco imagery in Amazon’s video content. Amazon is a customer-obsessed company and we appreciate your interest in the important topic of underage tobacco use. Below we have highlighted the tools that we provide customers to select appropriate content for their households. We are available to discuss these issues further with your offices if you have any questions. Today, the Amazon Prime Video catalog available to customers in the United States contains tens of thousands of titles, including Amazon Originals as well as third-party licensed movies and television series from content providers around the world. Our content selection is always changing; due to the size and dynamic nature of our catalog and the lack of an industry standard mechanism for identifying tobacco-specific data within content, we are unable to provide a title by title assessment on the presence of tobacco imagery or dialogue. However, individual maturity ratings are displayed on the detail page for the title within the catalog. Amazon Prime Video’s goal is to deliver the broadest selection of premium content to our customers to stream, purchase, or rent while also ensuring that we provide the information necessary to allow customers to make informed decisions about what content is appropriate for them and their households.
