New OTC Ophthlamic Testing Compliance - Brand Owners Need Answers Please!
This compliance initiative could have positive implications, but the specifics are crucial. We urgently need clarification before committing to the high costs of testing. Here are our key concerns:
Reseller Responsibility: Will individual resellers also be required to conduct compliance testing, or will they simply rely on the brand owner to complete testing and benefit from the results without contributing?
Testing Costs: We were quoted $5,400 USD for basic compliance testing for a single product. This expense makes selling OTC ophthalmic products on Amazon prohibitively expensive. It would be unreasonable if only the brand owner bears this burden while resellers benefit at no cost.
Existing Test Results: Our company has already conducted third-party testing that meets all compliance requirements. Amazon should provide clear guidance on how prior testing can be utilized to streamline this process and reduce costs for responsible brand owners.
Given these concerns, our company requires immediate clarification. Without satisfactory answers, we may reconsider continuing sales and advertising operations on Amazon. We strongly urge Amazon to leverage this requirement as an opportunity to enhance product safety by supporting responsible brand owners who already due all necessary testing and safety measures and discouraging unauthorized resellers from exploiting the system.
