A suspension due to Food and Product Safety Issues is one of the most serious actions Amazon can take against a seller. Amazon holds all sellers to strict compliance standards, especially when offering consumables, supplements, cosmetics, or items that come into direct contact with the body. If your product is found to pose a health risk, lacks proper labeling, or does not comply with relevant safety regulations, Amazon may suspend your account to protect customer safety and trust.

Common triggers for this type of suspension include customer complaints about adverse reactions, expired products, missing safety labels, contamination risks, or failure to meet FDA, USDA, or other regulatory standards. Even one serious safety complaint can prompt an investigation or listing removal—multiple complaints can lead to full account suspension.
