Summary
Product descriptions now require minimum 500 characters; must include measurements, care instructions, warranty info, legal safety warnings (incl. Prop 65), and brand format standardization. Seller-specific info (emails, URLs) prohibited.
Why it matters
Sellers must audit all existing listings for 500-char compliance and add missing safety/warranty/measurement data. Non-compliant listings risk removal or suspension. Increased compliance burden for product documentation and legal requirement interpretation.
Recommended action
Audit existing product descriptions for 500-character minimum; add legal safety warnings (esp. Prop 65), accurate measurements, care/warranty details, and brand name format accuracy. Ensure no seller contact info present. Test listings before republishing.
