October 6, 2022: The company confirmed that Amazon would no extended market its video-calling device aimed at kids.
At its annual hardware event in the previous September, the online retail giant unveiled a curious-looking product called Amazon Glow that combined video calling with games. Kids could video chat with their loved ones, and the device projected graphics that responded to touch.
The $300 device was initially available by invitation, but Amazon opened it to the broader public in late March. Now, just over six months after its wider rollout, the company said it would stop selling the Amazon Glow.
A product page for Glow on Amazon’s website showed the device was “currently unreachable” as of Tuesday night.
“At Amazon, we think big, experiment, and invest in new ideas to delight customers,” Amazon representative Tim Gillman said in a statement. “We also continually evaluate the progress and potential of our products to deliver client value, and we regularly make adjustments based on those assessments. We resolve to be sharing updates and guidance with Glow customers soon.”
Bloomberg earlier said Amazon’s decision to halt sales of Amazon Glow.
The move comes as Amazon trims spending across the company amid fears of an economic downturn and slowing retail sales.

While only one in ten homes throughout the United States has flood insurance coverage, floods are the country’s most common and deadli-est natural disaster.
