For gestures inside the carousel, there should be some logic to determine whether the user is trying to swipe horizontally or scroll vertically. Only one action should be performed: either a carousel swipe (with a lock on vertical scrolling) or a vertical scroll (with a lock on carousel swipe).

I believe the current carousel does not allow vertical scrolling inside the carousel, and carousel we use on vitacost (swipe-toggle?) does not lock gestures, so a single gesture usually results in both a carousel swipe and vertical scroll. I don't think these are natural carousel behaviors.
