Petition Ban the sale of clothing trivialising suicide with distressing slogans or images

Amazon are offering t-shirts "making fun" of suicide with a variety of distressing slogans and images. About 6,000 people end their lives by suicide every year. The images are extremely distressing for people touched by suicide and they could provide a trigger for more suicides.

More details

Suicide is the largest cause of death for men under 45. The t-shirts, some aimed at children, have images of people hanging, the most common form of suicide.
Slogans include "Death is Gods way of saying you're fired. Suicide is humans way of saying I quit".
"Yesterday my brother committed suicide. Should I kill myself?".
"I ❤️ Suicide". We would never tolerate a slogan "I ❤️ Cancer".
While the stigma remains for mental health we need to protect vulnerable people from seeing images like these.
