It looks like the the American and Canadian Red Cross(es) actually sell first aid supplies with the emblem: https://www.redcross.org/store/first-aid-supplies, https://products.redcross.ca/. Is the issue that the emblem is on first aid supplies at all, or just first aid supplies made by other organizations?

Misuse of this valued symbol distorts its meaning and its protective value for victims of conflict and the aid workers that assist them.
