Hazardous and Dangerous Items

Amazon enforces strict compliance rules for the listing of hazardous and dangerous items to ensure customer safety. Selling partners must adhere to relevant laws, regulations, and Amazon policies.

Unsafe products or those recalled by manufacturers or government agencies are prohibited from listing. All toys and electrical equipment must be CE marked, while used or refurbished electrical items require expert safety testing.

For permitted hazardous listings, like magnetized material or rechargeable batteries, sellers must ensure proper storage and transport. Compliance with additional regulations is essential, such as securing certified installations for appliances containing fluorinated gases.

Amazon prohibits listings of certain high-risk products, including items with chemicals that damage the ozone layer, products with excessive toxic elements, and explosives. Unlisted chemicals lacking regulatory registration, products containing specific hazardous substances, and those flagged by safety authorities are strictly restricted.

Sellers must maintain records for specified products to demonstrate compliance upon request by authorities. Non-adherence risks sanctions and potential product removal from Amazon’s marketplace.
