Amazon Restricted Product Suspension Appeal - Drug Classification Keyword Policy Violation Reinstatement Service
Amazon suspended for restricted product? GLP-1 terminology, CBD keywords, dietary supplement claims flagged by automated systems? Mr. Jeff AMZ specializes in restricted product appeals with extensive experience in catalog keyword audit, drug-associated terminology removal, and BBB escalation. Expert guidance through Amazon's complex keyword-driven restricted product enforcement.
What is Amazon Restricted Product Suspension?
Amazon restricted product suspension occurs when Amazon's automated systems flag products based on keyword matching against internal drug classification dictionaries. Common triggers include GLP-1 terminology, CBD-related keywords, or dietary supplement marketing language that resembles prescription drug claims. Amazon's system blocks appeals as long as restricted terminology appears anywhere in the catalog, regardless of actual ingredient composition.
The critical challenge: Amazon does not evaluate narrative quality or ingredient composition — they check whether drug-associated keywords have been removed from all listings. Sellers who focus on explaining their products are legitimate waste time while Amazon's automated system continues blocking appeals based on keyword detection.
Common Triggers for Restricted Product Suspensions
- GLP-1 terminology - Keywords like semaglutide, GLP-1, weight loss peptides
- CBD-related keywords - CBD, cannabidiol, hemp extract with drug-like claims
- Dietary supplement claims - Marketing language resembling prescription drug claims
- Botanical extracts - Plant-based ingredients with drug-associated terminology
- Automated keyword matching - Amazon's systems compare listings against drug classification dictionaries
Why Restricted Product Suspensions are Serious
- Keyword-driven enforcement - Amazon's automated system blocks appeals until all drug-associated terminology removed
- Catalog-wide impact - Must audit entire catalog, not just flagged ASINs
- Ingredient composition irrelevant - Amazon flags based on keywords, not actual product ingredients
- Appeal blocking - System automatically rejects appeals while restricted terminology remains
- Complete terminology removal required - Partial cleanup insufficient for reinstatement

Frequently Asked Questions About Restricted Product Suspensions
What is Amazon restricted product suspension?
Amazon restricted product suspension occurs when Amazon's automated systems flag products based on keyword matching against internal drug classification dictionaries. Common triggers include GLP-1 terminology, CBD-related keywords, or dietary supplement marketing language that resembles prescription drug claims. Amazon's system blocks appeals as long as restricted terminology appears anywhere in the catalog, regardless of actual ingredient composition.
Why does Amazon reject restricted product appeals?
In restricted product cases, Amazon's system blocks appeals as long as restricted terminology appears anywhere in the catalog, regardless of ingredient composition. Amazon does not evaluate narrative quality or product legitimacy — they check whether drug-associated keywords have been removed from all listings. Appeals fail until complete terminology removal is verified by automated systems.
What triggers Amazon restricted product flags?
Amazon's automated systems compare listing keywords against internal drug classification dictionaries. Terms like GLP-1, semaglutide, weight loss peptides, CBD, cannabidiol, appetite suppressant, or botanical extracts with drug-like claims can trigger immediate suspension — even if the product contains no restricted ingredients. The system flags based on keyword presence, not actual product composition.
How long does restricted product reinstatement take?
With our multi-level escalation protocol including complete catalog keyword audit and terminology removal, most restricted product cases are resolved within 4-6 weeks. The key is complete removal of all drug-associated terminology before Amazon will proceed with review. Cases requiring BBB escalation to bypass automated blocking may take longer.
Can I appeal restricted product suspension myself?
DIY appeals typically fail because sellers focus on explaining ingredient composition instead of removing all drug-associated terminology from their catalog. Amazon does not proceed with review until all drug-associated terminology is fully removed — this is the critical step most sellers miss. Professional assistance ensures complete keyword audit and terminology removal before appeal submission.
How many restricted product cases have you resolved?
We've successfully reinstated numerous accounts with restricted product violations since 2021. Our approach focuses on complete catalog keyword audit, drug-associated terminology removal, and BBB escalation when Amazon's keyword-driven automated system continues blocking appeals. Our experience includes GLP-1 supplements, CBD products, and dietary supplements with drug-like marketing claims.
