Packaging baby products

Important: Failure to comply with FBA product preparation requirements, safety requirements, and product restrictions may result in refusal of inventory at the Amazon fulfillment center, disposal or return of inventory, blocking of future shipments to the fulfillment center, charging for preparation, or for non-compliance at the fulfillment center.

Any product for children younger than age 4 that has an exposed surface greater than 1"x1" must be packaged so that it will not be damaged during receipt, stocking, shipment preparation, or shipment to the customer. Products for children under age 4 that are not contained in a sealed, six-sided package, or have an opening greater than 1"x1" must be shrink-wrapped or placed in a sealed poly bag.
