Daniel Rausch, director of product management at Amazon, told The Washington Post that they are "learning a lot" about how people use the buttons.

He said that some have been re-ordering items on a weekly basis, more frequently than they expect.

This ensures that multiple orders won't happen in case the buttons were pushed accidentally.
