Eyeglasses and sunglasses manufacturers and sellers, including prescription and non-prescription lenses
All eyeglasses and sunglasses sold must use impact-resistant lenses to prevent eye injuries from lens shattering. Doctors or optometrists can order different lens types—glass, plastic, or laminated—as long as they meet impact-resistance standards. Some specialized lens types are exempt from individual testing, but manufacturers must verify through testing that lenses can withstand the FDA's impact test.
Requirements
All eyeglasses and sunglasses must have impact-resistant lenses except when a physician/optometrist writes an exception for a specific patient's visual needs
Physicians and optometrists can choose glass, plastic, or laminated lenses as long as they pass the impact test
Prescription glass lenses must be individually tested; certain specialty lenses (raised multifocals, prism segments, cataract lenses, etc.) are exempt from testing
Manufacturers must conduct statistically significant batch testing on other impact-resistant lenses to prove they meet FDA impact standards
Why it matters
Non-compliance can result in product seizure or regulatory action; products that don't meet impact-resistance standards are illegal to sell and pose liability risks for injuries.

Requirements
Deduction of points from your Account Health Rating

Revocation of your ability to sell products on TikTok Shop
Requirement to issue refunds to customers
Why it matters
Violations of feminine care product policies result in escalating account penalties that can ultimately prevent you from selling on TikTok Shop and require you to refund customers.
