After you post

Most problems surface after the content is live

By then the penalty has applied, and the notice rarely names the exact sentence.

One word can make it a pesticide

Amazon may classify a product that claims to resist bacteria, mold or mildew as a pesticide. The listing then needs EPA information or a declared status, and only US residents may sell pesticides.

Removing the claim is not always enough

Amazon says removing a pesticide claim may lift the restriction, case by case, and only when the claim was the sole reason for the classification.

A disease claim turns a supplement into a drug

Under FDA rules, a disease claim makes a supplement subject to regulation as a drug. Amazon also prohibits disease names in supplement keywords.

Proof claims need proof

"Clinically proven" requires the level of evidence it states. Amazon asks for certificates or lab reports for purity and free-from claims, and supplier statements alone are not enough.

What we check

Checked against each platform's own policy

FTC and FDA rules apply everywhere. Each platform adds its own policy layer on top.

How it works

Three steps before you publish

Each finding names its rule, so you can verify it and decide what to change.

  1. 1

    Paste your listing copy

    Add a title, bullet points or a product description, choose Amazon US or your own store, and pick the product category so the right rules apply.

  2. 2

    Read each finding

    Each finding names the Amazon policy or the FDA, FTC or EPA rule it is based on, and says whether it must be fixed or reviewed.

  3. 3

    Rewrite and check again

    Apply the suggested rewrite or edit the line yourself, then run the check again before you publish or update the listing.

Scope

What we do not check

A check covers the content you submit. These issues sit outside it.

Account health and appeals

Listing removals, appeals and account decisions are made by Amazon. We do not file appeals and cannot reinstate listings.

Images and packaging

Amazon counts claims on images as well as text. The e-commerce check reads text; image checks for listings are planned for a later stage.

Compliance documents

EPA registration and establishment numbers, Amazon's third-party testing for supplements, cGMP certificates and MoCRA registration are outside a wording check.

Your evidence

We can tell you that a claim needs substantiation. Whether your study or certificate supports it is for you and your advisers to judge.

Frequently asked questions

If my listing passes the check, will Amazon accept it?

Not necessarily. A check catches risky wording before you publish, but Amazon makes the final decision, and some issues, such as product eligibility and documents, are outside a wording check. Each finding cites a rule you can verify.

Why would Amazon treat a cutting board or socks as a pesticide?

Because of the claim. Amazon classifies a product as a possible pesticide if its listing claims, states or implies an action against pests, and pests include bacteria, mold, mildew and mites. Amazon's own examples include socks with antimicrobial claims and a mildew-resistant shower curtain.

Can you help me get a pesticide flag removed?

We can help you find and rewrite the claims that may have triggered it. Setting the Pesticide Marking status and any appeal happen in Seller Central, and Amazon decides. Removing claims may lift the restriction, case by case, and only when the claims were the sole reason.

Do you check images or A+ content?

We check text: titles, bullet points, descriptions and any other listing copy you paste. Image checks for e-commerce listings are planned for a later stage.

Which rules do you check against?

Amazon's pesticide, bullet point, dietary supplement, cosmetics and claims policies; FDA rules that separate structure/function, disease and drug claims; FTC substantiation rules; and EPA's definition of a pesticide. Each free tool page shows the rule pack version it runs.

Can I also check TikTok Shop listings and videos?

Yes, under the TikTok scenario, which offers text, image and video checks.
