Get the [Black Friday 360-degree all-round inspection information] at the end of the article
In the blink of an eye, Amazon sellers’ preparations for the peak season have entered the final sprint stage. It is learned that Amazon recently announced that this year's "Black Friday" will start on Thanksgiving Day , November 24 (Pacific Standard Time) and last for 48 hours. And according to the information released by Amazon Global Store, Amazon's Black Friday online promotion will be launched first in Europe on November 18, and will be launched in global sites such as Australia, the Middle East, and the United States. Now, there are less than two days left before the Black Friday promotion in Europe. At this moment when the finish line is so close, Amazon suddenly launched a wave of category sweeps , catching cross-border sellers off guard. A large number of garden hose links have been removed!
It is learned that recently, a seller revealed that on Amazon's US site, a large number of links in the Best Sellers list of the Garden Hoses category were removed , leaving only a few old sellers at the top.

According to the seller, these products were removed from the shelves due to complaints of patent infringement: the complainant used the same patent number to complain about a large number of sellers, and the complainant was a "repeat offender" who performed the same operation every year. After being complained of infringement, the seller filed an appeal based on the actual situation , stating that his product has a completely different structure and appearance from the complainant's product. However, as of now, Amazon's response to the appeal is still: the legal advisor needs to issue relevant non-infringement certification documents or the complainant withdraws the lawsuit. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan In response to this, some sellers said that they are already accustomed to it: they have been making this product and there are always people causing trouble every year, and the market competition environment is very bad. Some sellers also reported that this product is patented abroad, and it is not limited to the appearance patent. We also learned that, as the seller said, in the United States, "garden hose" not only has multiple appearance patents, but also has highly related invention patents (the garden sprinkler hose in the picture below is a product with an invention patent).

As of now, the Best Sellers list of this category on Amazon US has returned to normal. However, according to reports from several sellers in related categories, their removed links have not been restored , and the remaining links are still suspended. Some sellers have made some relevant suggestions for them, which are summarized here for reference by relevant sellers: 1. Find the email address of the complainant in the performance email, contact the patent owner for settlement and compensation, and ask them to withdraw the lawsuit; 2. If there is no infringement, you can ask a legal advisor to issue relevant non-infringement certification documents (but this is likely to be rejected by Amazon); 3. If there is indeed no infringement, contact the seller who has been removed from the shelves to take concerted action to attract Amazon’s attention. In addition to the garden hose category, it was also learned that a large number of best-selling products in another category on Amazon's US site were also removed from the shelves.
All best-selling baby sleeping bags are out of stock!
It has been observed that recently, a large number of products in the "Baby Sleeping Bags" category on Amazon US have been shown as unavailable for sale. As of now, only one product in this category is still displayed normally on the BS list .
▲ The picture comes from Amazon US This obvious abnormality has attracted the attention of many sellers: "I just checked, all the links are broken, what's going on?" "Shit, I've done this category before... and dodged a bullet." "Here he comes, here he comes, Amazon is back with the removal of products." Many sellers have also said that they have been cheated and have submitted complaints to Amazon, but have not received a response in the past four days. As for the reason why this category was suddenly rectified, some sellers speculated that it might be related to the new safety standards for baby sleep products implemented in the United States. It is learned that the final regulations of the US infant sleep product safety standards will officially take effect on June 23, 2022, imposing an indefinite ban on unsafe infant sleep products (infant tilt sleep products) . After that, Amazon sent product compliance reminder emails to relevant sellers. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group In addition, baby sleeping bags are not the first baby sleep product category that Amazon has rectified. In July of this year, a large number of products in the "Baby Head Shaping Pillows" list, which also belongs to the baby sleep product category on the US site, were shown as unsaleable. As of press time, the abnormal display of the baby sleeping bag category has not yet been restored , and Amazon has not yet responded to this. The specific reason is currently unknown. Based on the reasons speculated by the sellers, sellers involved in related products are reminded to submit relevant compliance materials as soon as possible to avoid losses due to subsequent categories being removed from the shelves again.
