How to Avoid Amazon Compliance Warnings (2026 playbook)
Warn before you publish
Run every draft through a compliance pre-check (ListingGood free scan) to catch banned words and unverifiable claims first.
Substantiate every claim
'Waterproof', 'BPA-free', 'FDA-cleared' need backing. Vague or unbacked claims are the top warning trigger.
Match category rules
Each category has extra rules (e.g. child safety, cosmetics). A category mismatch alone can suppress a listing.
Keep images clean
No price, no 'Sale' badge, no borders on the main image. Image-rule breaks are a frequent warning source.
