This compliance requirement update applies to mouth tape. Mouth tape is a type of porous or non-porous tape that is usually placed over the upper and lower lips, making it difficult to open the mouth while sleeping. Currently, breathing patches sold on the market are mainly used to address sleep problems or sleep disorders, or to regulate airflow through the nose to address issues that occur during sleep.

Amazon must ensure that buyers can find a sufficient selection of products on Amazon that are safe, reliable, and compliant with relevant regulatory requirements. Therefore, for safety reasons, Amazon prohibits the sale of breathing patches starting August 4, 2023.
