Hello! Pure power banks exported to Amazon in the United States require UL certification. Recently, Amazon removed some products from shelves without UL certification.
Recently, we received information from the supply chain that Amazon will restrict sales of power banks starting April 25.
The entire category of power banks is subject to sales restrictions. The reason for these sales restrictions is that "many safety accidents have already occurred in power banks."
In addition, according to Amazon operators, the current sales restriction policy only applies to power banks equipped with lithium batteries and has no impact on other charging accessories.
This ban on the sale of powerbanks is enforced by the official Amazon platform and targets all categories of mobile energy.
AdPrior to the implementation of the sales ban, Amazon officials did not conduct any communication or negotiations with sellers, and it was a unilateral forced removal. Amazon operators also said that the incident happened suddenly.
As for banned sellers, Amazon has not yet provided corresponding solutions.
A netizen claiming to be a US seller claimed to have received a notice from Amazon stating that all power banks that failed to provide UL2056 certification by May 25 would be banned from sale.
Regarding the safety concerns of Amazon's mobile power banks, in March this year, Amazon recalled a total of 260,000 units of its own Basicms brand mobile power bank.
The main reason is that in the United States, Amazon has received more than 50 reports of power banks overheating and believes that the product hassafety risks. And this is also the trigger for this ban on power banks.
