Amazon Lithium Battery Appliances UL Compliance

After August 30, 2026, all lithium battery household appliances on Amazon US that have not completed compliance verification will have their ASINs compulsorily removed. Cordless vacuum cleaners, food processors, air purifiers, curling irons, hair dryers... as long as they contain a lithium battery, all are affected.

What is more troublesome is that this time, it is not just about submitting a single report—ul test report + UN 38.3 Battery Test + COI (Certificate of Insurance) + Third-Party Verification; you will not pass if any of these four requirements are missing. The testing cycle takes at least two to four weeks, leaving you with a time window of less than 60 days.
