Sellers beware! Amazon is about to ban the sale of these light bulbs

Light bulbs are an indispensable product for every household. There are many types of light bulbs sold on the market, and the quality varies. Amazon, which has always attached great importance to safety issues, recently issued a new announcement regarding lighting products.

The content of the announcement shows that this announcement is currently only for merchants in Europe. Amazon has clearly stipulated the types of products such as light bulbs and lamps that can be sold, and it will officially take effect on October 1, 2021.

Amazon pointed out that after the policy takes effect, European sellers are not allowed to sell clear incandescent bulbs (15w, 25w, 40w, 60w, 65w, 70w, 75w and 100w), frosted incandescent lamps and halogen lamps (except socket types) R7, G9, GU5.3, G4 and GY 6.35) and other models of bulbs, otherwise the product links will be removed.

The consequences of deleting the link are very serious for a store. Therefore, the editor hereby reminds sellers of lighting products to carefully check whether the store’s products are among the products banned by Amazon, so as to avoid the policy taking effect and the listing being deleted.

Recently, Amazon has been releasing announcements frequently. First, it adjusted various charging items, and now it has also taken action on lighting products. Why did Amazon choose to release a new policy on lighting at this time?

According to Yien.com, as the Christmas and Halloween shopping seasons are approaching, many businesses have begun preparing for the peak season. Lamps, as important decorations for these two festivals, have always been in high demand. Such decorations are also products with high safety issues and are the focus of Amazon's inspections every year.

After all, when Amazon was conducting an inspection before Christmas, 15 million units of inventory were directly destroyed due to UL588 certification issues. This caused a sensation in the lighting industry at the time, and many sellers were walking on thin ice, fearing that their products would not comply with Amazon's platform sales rules. It is very necessary for sellers to pay attention to this issue.

Nowadays, affected by various factors such as logistics and the epidemic, many sellers must have begun to prepare goods in advance for the Halloween and Christmas shopping seasons. It is hoped that lighting sellers can conduct targeted reviews during the stocking stage, prepare various certification information in advance, and strictly abide by the platform sales policies.
