Thoudands of items flagged as SEEDS_AND_PLANTS or PLANT_SEED in Restricted Product Policy Violations
We have had ~2600+ items flagged in the sportings goods category as SEEDS_AND_PLANTS or PLANT_SEED in Restricted Product Policy Violations. They are going up by the minute. They are hundreds of differnt products from dozens of different brands and sub categories.
Account health has been little help citing we should check out listing content and call the catalog team. This seems like a large site glitch. Is anyone else experiencing this?

If you want a specific example B07GJCYM9S is a chain and does not have anything we can find that would flag as a plant or plant seed.
It is also worth noting these all popped up in the last few hours.
Update - We are now at 10,000+ flagged items. I do not think the AHR page can keep track over that number!
This product has been identified as a live plant or seed product that is listed outside of the SEEDS_AND_PLANTS or PLANT_SEED categories. Please update the product_type attribute to either SEEDS_AND_PLANTS or PLANT_SEED values as a path to reinstatement. If you are unable to make the necessary changes, please work with Seller Support to change the category classification for your ASIN and then please apply for reinstatement. It is against Amazon policy to list live plant or seed product outside of these categories.

They are doing the exact same thing to me!!! I just called them and they told me that they are escalating this because of all of us calling them.
All mine are custom items example: B00QVX1LMQ
can't customize a seed or plant with embroidery????? How rediculous are they getting!!!! Please let me know if you get any further information, as I will with you!

Hopefully this will make you feel better. We currently have six violations and they are climbing by the minute for SEEDS_AND_PLANTS or PLANT_SEED violations. To be clear, we sell solar panels, electrical items that compliment solar panels (fuses, connectors, etc.), and electrical cable. Nothing we sell has anything even remotely to do with plants or plant seeds.
I think it is a system wide glitch.

Same issue in powersports. We manufacture metal parts. Listing are getting flagged with threats of removal. Chunks of metal are not remotely close to being seeds. Happy Friday evening business owners!!!!
