I’m reaching out to find out who I can contact regarding the recent emails Amazon has sent to customers about a manufacturer recall on a power bank.
The recall was issued voluntarily by the manufacturer due to a few isolated cases in the USA. It appears Amazon has removed these products from its platform and sent emails to all customers who ordered them in the past five years.
Unfortunately, this has led to a lot of confusion. Many customers, some who no longer have the product are now contacting us for replacements. As a seller, we are not handling the recall. It is being dealt with directly by the manufacturer.
What’s also concerning is that the email does not clearly state that the recall only affects units produced before or during 2023. As a result, we’re receiving a high volume of messages from customers who recently purchased unaffected units. Some even claim their power bank caught fire but are unable to provide any evidence and asking for
This situation is becoming unmanageable, and we are trying to direct customers to the appropriate channels. Could you please advise which department sent out the original communication, or who we can speak to about updating the message content? Ideally, future emails should direct customers to the manufacturer’s website to process any recall claims. Sorry I cannot disclose brand name here, happy to give it to the seller support contact.
Thanks in advance for your help.
