Amazon Removes “Tons” of Supplement Offers Due to Non-Compliance with New Product Requirements
📢 Heads up, dietary supplement sellers!
Amazon has reportedly removed many dietary supplements offers due to product compliance issues. 🤯
On Amazon’s forum page, one seller said that Amazon just pulled a ton of their products from the site, including their best seller. They also didn’t receive any notification that they needed to provide required documentation for the affected products.
According to the forum moderator, Amazon announced on November 2021 that they had implemented additional compliance documentation requirements for weight loss and sexual enhancement products. According to Amazon, these goods may contain potentially dangerous substances that might cause serious health issues if not tested properly. Sellers were given approximately two months to comply.
Affected sellers who wish to continue selling these products will need to meet Amazon’s additional compliance requirements.
It is important to note that sellers who find themselves in the unfortunate position of having their supplements listings or offers removed must work fast to get compliance and to be reinstated. Amazon is not pulling any punches. Those who have products in suspension must get reinstated or create a removal order to recover their inventory or it will be automatically disposed of within 30 days, which could mean significant losses for some sellers.
