Amazon prints “NO EXPOSED ADHESIVE” on their mailers, then ships them with exposed adhesive. A lizard died stuck to mine

Amazon’s paper mailers print this warning right on the envelope: “FOLD FLAP TO REMOVE SLACK. DO NOT FOLD OVER SP00 LABEL. NO EXPOSED ADHESIVE.”

Mine arrived with the adhesive fully exposed. A lizard got stuck to it on my porch and didn’t survive — when I gently lifted him off, pieces of his skin tore away and stayed stuck to the glue.

Amazon literally tells their warehouse workers not to do this. They did it anyway.

Amazon’s envelope literally says “NO EXPOSED ADHESIVE” — they ignored their own warning and a lizard died stuck to it on my porch

Amazon’s paper mailer literally says “NO EXPOSED ADHESIVE” right on the envelope. They didn’t follow their own instructions. The exposed adhesive trapped a lizard on my porch — when I gently lifted him off, pieces of his skin and body tore away and stayed stuck to the glue. He didn’t survive. These mailers are functioning as glue traps when Amazon’s own warehouse workers don’t seal them properly. Glue traps are restricted in many states for exactly this reason.

EDIT: For anyone thinking I was dumb enough to try to peak a live lizard off the glue, he was 100% already dead.
