Why This Happens
Amazon maintains lists of restricted and prohibited products that require pre-approval, special certifications, or are entirely banned from the marketplace. Selling these products without proper authorization triggers listing removal and potentially account-level enforcement. Categories include hazardous materials, dietary supplements, pesticides, medical devices, and products requiring FDA/EPA approval.
