Amazon Product Safety
Amazon Product Safety is a primary concern for sellers and customers who shop on Amazon. Depending on the product category or customer experience, Amazon requires product safety testing to protect its customers and comply with federal and local regulations.
Amazon Product Safety Team
Amazon’s Product Safety Team ensures that all products sold on the Amazon platform meet safety, regulatory, and Amazon Policy requirements to prevent and mitigate potential harm to customers. To Amazon, the term “product safety” refers to anything legally regulated by a governing body (regardless of whether or not it poses a practical safety concern to customers) and actual real time reactions to customer incidents which become Amazon Policy. Any scenario requiring product testing is referred to as a “Safety” issue within Amazon.
Amazon Product Safety Email
There are two primary situations where Amazon may notify a seller regarding product safety: 1) If annual safety testing documents are required for submission to Amazon to remain compliant and 2) If a customer complaint triggers an investigation where additional testing may be required to prove that the product is safe for consumers. If you receive an Amazon Product Safety Team Email it is important that it be read, understood and responded to in a timely manner to avoid getting your products removed from the Amazon platform.
Amazon Product Safety Notification
Certain product categories on Amazon require ongoing annual preventative testing from the manufacturing facility to show continued compliance with Amazon safety requirements. In these instances, Amazon will require sellers to submit safety testing documentation for each applicable product for those listings to remain in active status on Amazon.

Amazon Product Safety Complaint
If an Amazon customer submits a product safety complaint, it will trigger a Safety Incident Investigation by Amazon’s Product Safety Team. This will require the seller to obtain specific product testing to bring their product into compliance and allow the seller to continue sales of the product on Amazon.
Notification of Product Removal by Amazon Product Safety
In many cases, a product safety complaint will also result in the notification of the product’s removal by the Amazon Product Safety team. At this point, the product becomes “Restricted” and will not be allowed for sale on Amazon until the proper safety testing has been completed and submitted to Amazon.
