I am a seller and I am faced with a very difficult case:
In June 2024, we had a Food Safety case (15456140721) for our product Charlie Buddy - Oil for Dogs and Cats (ASIN: B081VJYXXQ). A support specialist advised us to RELIST the ASIN, which worked temporarily, but the issue was never fully resolved because the product started getting banned daily. This is despite being fully eligible and certified (COA provided) and produced by an FDA-registered food facility.
Now, every reinstatement attempt in cases receives the SAME COPY-PASTE RESPONSE from Amazon about an Idaho restriction:
"We received your submission and after careful review we have determined that your ASINs do not meet the criteria for reinstatement.
Why did this happen?
Your listings do not meet our standards. Refer to the following details:
ASIN: B081VJYXXQ
Title: Charlie Buddy - Oil for Dogs and Cats
This product has been identified as a hemp animal feed or remedies product that is prohibited from sale into Idaho by the Idaho Department of Agriculture (ISDA). Although permissible for sale in Amazon’s store, hemp animal feed or remedies cannot be sold into the State of Idaho."
This explanation doesn’t make sense. The Idaho restriction only applies to sales in that state, yet the ASIN is COMPLETELY BLOCKED across the entire marketplace. Our Account Health shows only a Food Safety issue, and there is NO clarity about what’s actually causing the block and how to resolve it fully.
!To make matters worse, Amazon FBA has given us a deadline, and our multi-thousand-unit SKU will be destroyed shortly by Amazon!
We suspect there’s an unresolved internal trigger on our ASIN, but we can’t address it without clear guidance. The repeated Idaho responses are NOT helping, and we’re stuck in a loop.
WE NEED URGENT HELP AND CLEAR ACTIONS TO RESOLVE THIS FINALLY AND FULLY.
If anyone can help escalate this or provide a solution, we are ready to cooperate. Please contact us.
