Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out to share my recent experience with Amazon’s product safety appeal process and to ask if anyone has additional suggestions or solutions.
I received a warning from Amazon related to ASIN B00TEQ1064 (ACDelco Gold 335-1227 Alternator) regarding compliance with CA Food and Product Safety standards. Although I’m not the manufacturer, I did provide documentation from the manufacturer as part of my appeal. However, Amazon required further testing documentation—specifically, evidence that the complete product was tested by an ISO 17025 certified lab to the appropriate UL standard. Since I’m just a reseller and do not have control over manufacturer testing, I decided to remove the product from my listings rather than pursue further testing.
Despite having taken these steps:
I provided the documentation I had.
I completely deleted the ASIN from my listings.
There have been no sales associated with this ASIN for over two months.
My account health rating, however, continues to reflect the impact of this warning. I understand that in some cases, policy warnings may remain on the Account Health page for up to 180 days, but I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do at this point to mitigate the negative impact on my account.
Has anyone encountered a similar situation where, after removing a listing and providing available documentation, the account health penalty remained? Did you have any success with:
Requesting a manual review or adjustment to remove the penalty earlier than the typical 180 days?
Finding any alternative approaches to demonstrate compliance, given that I am not the manufacturer?
Any insights, suggestions, or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. I’m particularly interested in any advice on communicating with Amazon or any workaround that others might have used successfully.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
