Need Advice: Should I Keep an LED Candle with Coin Batteries in My Product?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to launch my first product on Amazon (for the US market), and I recently realized that it includes an LED tealight candle powered by coin batteries. While this adds value to the product, I discovered that Amazon has strict requirements for selling products with coin batteries.

I’m trying to decide whether I should:

-Keep the LED tealight candle and go through the process of meeting Amazon's requirements, which could take time and cost extra for testing and packaging updates, OR

-Get rid off the LED tealight, don't deal with any of these.

I don’t think either option is impossible, but I’m stuck on what would make more sense for my product and launch timeline. On one hand, the LED candle adds value, but on the other hand, the compliance process could delay my launch and eat into my budget.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has dealt with a similar issue or has insights into how difficult or expensive it is to meet Amazon’s coin battery requirements.

I'm all confused. I guess I want to hear something from someone who has some ideas about selling on Amazon.

Thanks in advance!

Obviously, no one can say for sure what is the best way to go, but opinions might be a little more meaningful if we knew what your product is, and how the tea light fits in to the picture.

Hello @Seller_02sRLH0gmHdHQ,

Thanks for reaching out. As @Seller_nRFmxiQg4EGrw stated, it's a business decision that you will have to decide for yourself. If you decide to include the tea light and your compliance review is taking longer than 14 days, you can come to the forms and create a post about it, providing your case ID and we can ask for it to be reviewed.

I hope this is helpful in helping you make your decision.

Wishing you the best with your new product!

Michelle
