High Risk [Hazardous] Products or Services

A
Written by Amandine Farrugia

Quick Summary

If your script has been flagged, it may be because it contains language that references products, services, or activities involving a high level of physical risk. This includes firefighting, handling dangerous materials (such as chemicals, explosives, or pesticides), industrial machinery, demolition, extreme sports, and similar activities.

The good news: you can still create educational content about high-risk products and services. In many cases, adjusting your focus or framing is enough to resolve the issue. The key is ensuring your content focuses on education, safety, history, or factual information rather than on promotion or instruction for potentially harmful use.


How to Fix This

If you want to use a stock avatar, review your script to ensure it:

  • Focuses on education about what high-risk products or services are, their history, or their significance

  • Contains only factual, easily verifiable information

  • Avoids detailed instructions on how to use, dispose of, or handle specific high-risk products

  • Avoids promoting illegal high-risk products, services, or activities

If your content includes detailed safety information, training on how to use or dispose of high-risk products, or promotional content about legal high-risk services, switching to a custom avatar may allow you to use your original wording. You can discuss a broader range of high-risk content with a custom avatar than with stock avatars.

📌 If your content involves internal processes, training, or safety information for enterprise clients, this may require an Enterprise plan in addition to a custom avatar.

Key Reminder

✍️ Depending on your content, there may be more than one compliant path. Some changes will make your script suitable for stock avatars, while others may require a personal or studio avatar, an enterprise workspace, or in some cases, may not be supported on the platform.

If your script was flagged, the guidance above should help you understand both how to edit your content and what type of account or avatar is needed to create it successfully. Feel free to make your edits and try again.
