Hi everyone,

I’m posting here in hopes of learning if others have experienced something similar — and ideally, to get advice or visibility from Amazon support.

I had 71 units of a 3D printed articulated figurine pack (ASIN: B0FBY3ZD9V) that were temporarily flagged as “defective” in FBA while awaiting compliance approval.

Here’s what happened:

I fully tested the product for Canadian toy regulations (SOR/2011-17, etc.) and had the ASIN approved after submitting the test report.

However, during the waiting period, the inventory remained marked as unfulfillable.

Despite opening a support case and requesting review, the system automatically created a removal order and locked the units into reserved inventory for disposal (Order ID: xp811kd484).

Now Amazon says no action can be taken and these brand new, tested, and approved items will be destroyed.

This is deeply frustrating. The listing is now live and sellable — but the only inventory I had is being disposed of. I wasn’t given a chance to stop the removal or convert them back to fulfillable.

Has anyone successfully reversed a removal order in similar circumstances?

Any tips to prevent this from happening again when dealing with compliance review delays?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or support.
