What it is

Tick every one that fits.
How CPSC decides ▸
CPSC weighs four things:
  • A statement by the manufacturer about the product's intended use, including a label, where that statement is reasonable. An age label or a "not for children" line does not decide it alone: a product whose look, size or marketing is aimed mainly at children can still be one.
  • Whether the packaging, display, promotion or advertising presents it as appropriate for children 12 or younger.
  • Whether consumers commonly recognise it as intended for a child 12 or younger. Something a parent or caregiver uses in a child's room, and the child does not, is not a children's product.
  • The Commission's Age Determination Guidelines (September 2002) and any successor to them.
Why we ask
It decides whether the children's lead limit applies and which kind of certificate this points to, and it is the one question no customs code can answer.
