It means Amazon wants proof your children's product is safe before it keeps the listing up. For a children's product, that's usually three things: a Children's Product Certificate (CPC), a test report from a CPSC-accepted lab, and photos of the labels and warnings. Miss the due date and Amazon may remove the listing.

Sellers have posted it on Amazon's forums for years. It says you have listed products that “require you to submit compliance documents,” lists each product with a due date, and warns that Amazon “may remove the affected listings.”
The same request shows in Seller Central, on your Account Health page. If an email looks odd, check there instead of clicking its link.
Next to each item, Amazon shows a short note. An Amazon moderator posted them in November 2024:
Photos that show the safety information, the tracking label and any warnings. A CPC that follows the federal rules. And a test report from a CPSC-accepted lab, with photos of the tested product and its box that match your listing.
Selling toys? Toys follow a different path since September 2025: a testing company Amazon approves checks them, and you don't upload the papers.
The product, with a model number, SKU or UPC. Each safety rule it meets. Who certifies it, with an address, email and phone. Who keeps the test records. When and where it was made and tested, and which lab tested it.
Amazon adds a few of its own: an ASIN on the CPC has to match your listing exactly, and the files have to be in English and not editable, like a PDF.
Maybe not. For an imported product, the importer is the one who certifies. A CPC your supplier made out in its own name doesn't name the importer, so it may not meet the rule. Check that line first.
They're how a reviewer ties your papers to your listing. The product on the test report has to look like the one you sell, and the age on the report has to agree with the age on the listing.
The tracking label counts too: the maker's name, where and when it was made, and a batch number, printed on the product and the box. Amazon doesn't accept a paper sticker.
Yes. In Account Health, open the request, choose Appeal requirement and explain why. An “adult” label alone doesn't decide it: federal law also looks at how the product is sold and who buyers think it's for. Amazon decides the appeal.
An Amazon moderator said 10 to 15 business days (January 2025). That's one moderator's figure, not a promise. The due date on your request is the one that counts.
Before you upload, see what a reviewer will see. The free CPC Readiness Check reads your certificate, test report and invoice and flags where they don't match, each cited to the rule. It isn't affiliated with Amazon and can't promise a result. Check yours — free.

The rules on this page do change — an eFiling date, a list, a threshold. Leave an email and a short note goes out if one does: a few a year at most, one click to stop, and the address is used for nothing else. A summary of the guide and a link arrive now, as confirmation.
