I've had this happen too, and what I think causes it is that even though it was a tag that got the first product taken down, all the products with the same art work as the infringing product get taken down too. When it happened to me I saw that the images were also gone out of my image folder. You can respond to that email and try to get the other products restored by proving that you have rights to the image and that there were no infringing tags and see if that works. Sometimes it doesn't and the products are just gone, but you can remake them with the artwork and be really careful with your tags.
It depends how you see it I suppose, I mainly deal in photography side of things and combine it with design and augment the look. I have put all those type of designs aside for now and deactivated them as it was a very small portion of what I do. But essentially the idea revolved around take a photo of a random toy fireplace, augment and change how it looks to appear more cartoon style or painting style etc, and then use that to make a design with text. I know its a copyrighted toy like using a micky mouse toy you could be seen as infringing, but a random object from a Chinese market somewhere without any kind of labelling indicating trademark or copyright?, and that has been altered to look different from the original product? this actually got given to us from someone who is leaving the country, and she has had it for at least 10 years.
its a grey area I suppose
