NOTE: When submitting a de-listing request, please be aware that when Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) products are de-listed, their corresponding Private Label products will also be de-listed. All associated private labelers will be informed of a product de-listing with a message instructing them to reach out to their OEM for additional information regarding the de-listing. Additionally, please note that child products cannot be listed on the QPL without a bracketing parent product. If de-listing all parent products of the original product family, please include all associated child products in submitted QPL download.
