Urgent Appeal Regarding Wrongful Product Safety Violation (Case ID: 17775247551)
One of our products, which has been sold successfully on Amazon for nearly three years and does not fall under any prohibited items in your Product and Food Safety Policy, was unexpectedly deactivated on May 20, 2025, due to alleged "Product and Food Safety Violations."
We have submitted multiple appeals (Case ID: 17775247551), but the responses have been consistently automated, stating: "This product causes a safety risk. Therefore, it is prohibited from sale and listing on Amazon. At this time, we will not be reviewing any documents for this product."
This unjust suspension has caused significant financial losses and disrupted our sales operations for over two weeks. We firmly believe this is a misjudgment and kindly request:
A manual review by Amazon’s safety team to reevaluate the product.
Clear documentation of the specific safety risk cited.
Immediate reinstatement if no violation exists.
As a long-term seller, we prioritize compliance and are willing to provide any additional documentation. Please escalate this case to a specialist for fair resolution.
We appreciate your urgent attention to this matter.

Good Evening @Seller_sJuNEUrTXmz7G,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Seller Forums. Apologies that you are going through this experience. It does not appear you are the only one as we have seen multiple sellers on the forums recently reach out about their ASINs recently removed for Product and Food Safety violations.
I have gone ahead and escalated the handful of cases you filed regarding ASIN ending 3SMP to see if we can learn more about its removal. The partner team should get back to us within the next few business days. I will follow up with you as soon as I hear back from them.
Sincerely, Cooper_Amazon

As a result of our review, your appeal is denied and this decision is final. We have removed your product(s) from Amazon, and this product(s) cannot be relisted. This affects all current listings and any FBA inventory.
Why is this happening?
