Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Government and Parliament can't stop just one company doing something. You could start a new petition calling for the sale of these items to be banned in the UK.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
