6 controversial products that were criticized for profiting off of tragedies

Red Bull inspired 150 complaints to the the UK's Advertising Standards Authority after airing an advertisement implying that doomed Titanic passengers might have survived had they grown wings by downing the energy drink, the Guardian reported.

Beverage Daily reported that the beverage company stood by its advertisement and put out a statement defending the commercial: "When we say that 'Nero fiddled while Rome burned' we are not making little of those who died in 64 AD."

The Advertising Standards Authority agreed, and declined to launch an investigation in 2013.

The website "Tactical S***," which caters to gun enthusiasts, attracted condemnation for selling yellow Star of David badges, similar to the ones Jewish people were forced to wear under Nazi rule.

The product was meant to equate gun owners with victims of the Holocaust.

The Times of Israel reported that the site said it didn't "invoke this historical symbol lightly. The similarities of the current attitude of the legislative environment and the systematic persecution that this star represents are uncanny. There's no difference."

"To think that the people who thought of the idea to create the patches found makers for the patches and marketing and distribution chains," Anti-Defamation League official Karen  Aroesty said in an interview with Light. "How many people along the line could have said, 'Wait this is not a good idea,' and didn't."

A Long Island winery's decision to sell 9/11 commemorative wines back in 2011 didn't sit well with some — including celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain.

Delish reported that Lieb Cellars made the decision to to commemorate two bottles of Chardonnay and Merlot in honor of the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

After discovering that two restaurants where he served as chef-at-large were serving the wine, Bourdain took to Twitter to blast the winery, writing, "911Wine?!!? Are you out your f****** MIND?!! EPIC FAIL."

Later, the chef had the wines pulled from his restaurants.
