Yes they allow it. It often leads to "product listing hijacking": another seller sends a counterfeit/similar product to amazon using the UPC of your (private label) product. Product & review pages are then shared between all these different products. AFAIK the only way to combat this is purchasing the other product, document how if differs from your product, report it all to amazon and hope they act before too much damage is done to your product listing.
