Unsafe to advertise This ASIN is identified as potentially embarrassing or offensive and cannot be added to deals or coupons
We sell waterproof blankets, but our ASINs are flagged as "Unsafe to advertise. This ASIN is identified as potentially embarrassing or offensive and cannot be added to a coupon."
Updated the listings several times and there is NO any s potentially embarrassing wordings, but still the system does not allow us to create coupon, deals or advertising. Very frustration.
Anyone from amazon, please help.

I started having the same error. We sell organic herbal gummies. We were able to use coupons for these during Black Friday 2024 period. But now, we get this strange error. Is Amazon AI bots are going rogue and wilding here with their auto screens?

Embarrassing?? Are you kidding me? To whom exactly? Amazon is the embarrassment police now?

Competitors might be reporting the asin, or changing listing details via file upload to trigger the algorithms.

You should open a case, it will be helpful.

This is a case for the very overworked and understaff catalog department. The waterproof blanket could be a drunk guy prophylactic. Amazon is a mess.

This might be related to an ongoing issue that I have been dealing with. Amazon is changing the "Product Type" of several of my listings. (this has happened several times over the last few months). They may have done the same with yours.
Go to your "Manage all inventory" and copy the listing (don't need to save it). Then look at the the product type as shown below. My guess is that yours was put in some sort of adult toy category. If that is the case you can update the support case and tell them the correct product type.

We do not utilize advertising. We use a short, easy to find title, and offer the lowest price. If it is something a buyer wants and needs, they find us pretty quick.

Bad programming. Lack of attention to detail. Programmers employed by Amazon without critical thinking skills to think outside of the box, not just to check it.
