Example of CPSA Prescribed Child Product Composition

Date:2023-05-11 10:58:24 Classification :【question】 Visits:
In order to help manufacturers understand the composition of children's products specified in CPSA, the following additional examples are provided for specific product categories:

1. Furniture and fixtures - General household items and fixtures (including but not limited to rocking chairs, shelving units, televisions, digital music players, ceiling fans, humidifiers, air purifiers, curtains, tissue boxes, carpets, carpets, lights, hooks and shelves commonly found in children's rooms or schools) are not considered children's products, Unless they are decorated or decorated with a children's theme and invite children aged 12 or below to use them, their size is suitable for children, or they are mainly sold to attract children. Examples of home or school furniture primarily designed for children and considered children's products include baby bathtubs, bathtub seats, beanbag chairs with childlike decorations, children's themed beds, children's sized desks, and children's sized chairs. Decorative items, such as festival decorations and family seasonal items only for display, are unlikely to interact with children, and are generally not considered as children's products because they are intended for adult use.

2. Collectibles - The difference between adult collectibles and children's collectibles is that the theme is not suitable for children aged 12 or below, has features that hinder children's use during play, such as high cost, limited production, fragile features, display features (such as hooks or bases), and will not be sold together with children's products in a way that is difficult to distinguish from children's products (such as in the children's department). For example, plush bears with collectible value have high costs, exquisite workmanship, fragile accessories, display cabinets, and platforms for storing bears. Children's bears have lower costs and simple accessories, so there is no need to worry about damaging the product.

3. Jewelry - Jewelry designed specifically for children typically features sizes, themes, and marketing strategies tailored to their needs. The following characteristics may lead to a piece of jewelry being considered a children's product: size; Very low cost; Unleashing value; The childish theme on jewelry; Selling together with children's products (such as children's dresses); Selling together with children's books, toys, or party gifts; Selling together with children's cereal or snacks; Selling in entertainment or educational activities primarily attended by children; Sell in stores that primarily include children's products; And sold on vending machine machines. In addition, when determining the age of target consumers and the age of consumers who will be purchasing a product, many aspects of product design and marketing will be considered, including advertising; Promotional materials; Packaging graphics and text; Requirements for dexterity in wearing; Appearance (color, texture, material, design theme, license, and realism); And costs. These features will help jewelry manufacturers and consumers determine whether a specific piece of jewelry is primarily designed or intended for use by children aged 12 or below.

4. DVD, video games, and computer products - Most computer products and electronic media, such as CDs, DVDs, and video games, are considered universal products. However, if CDs and DVDs contain encoded content specifically sold for children, such as children's movies, games, or educational software, they may be considered children's products. CPSC staff may consider ratings given by the entertainment industry and software rating systems when determining age. In addition, electronic media players and devices designed to attract children aged 12 or below as themed decorations or decorations, with sizes suitable for children or primarily marketed to attract children, are unlikely to belong to the general purpose category as children aged 12 or below can be the main users of such devices. However, electronic devices, such as CD players, DVD players, game consoles, book readers, digital media player, mobile phones, digital assistant communication devices, and accessories for such devices, which are mainly used by children or adults over the age of 12, are general-purpose products.

5. Art materials - materials designed, decorated, and sold for children aged 12 or below, such as crayons, finger paintings, and dough shapes, will be considered children's products. Handmade kits and supplies that are not sold specifically for children 12 years of age or younger may be considered general purpose products. The marketing and labeling of raw materials and artistic tools such as modeling clay, paint, and brushes may usually be given high priority when determining age, as the attractiveness and practicality of these raw materials have such a wide audience. If distributors or retailers sell or rent general purpose products (such as original art materials or tools), summer camps, or childcare facilities in bulk through distribution channels targeting children aged 12 or under in educational institutions (such as schools), this type of distribution strategy may not necessarily convert general products into children's products. However, if the packaging of the product clearly states or implies that the product is primarily designed or used by children aged 12 or below with graphics, themes, labels, or instructions, it can be considered a children's product. If necessary considerations for all four legal factors support this decision, it is considered a product. The requirements of the Dangerous Art Materials Labeling Act are similar to the labeling requirements of FHSA and are part of FHSA. Therefore, there is no need for third-party testing of LHAMA. Art materials primarily designed or designed for children aged 12 or below must be tested by a third-party laboratory to demonstrate compliance with CPSIA, but do not require third-party testing and certification required by LHAMA. For the same reason, general purpose artistic materials do not require a general qualification certificate.

6. Books - The content of a book can determine its target audience. The themes, vocabulary, illustrations, and covers of children's books are in line with the interests and cognitive abilities of children aged 12 or below. The age guidelines provided by librarians, education professionals, and publishers may have a decisive role in determining the target audience. Some children's books have a wide appeal to the public, in which case further analysis may be needed to assess the main target audience and consider relevant additional factors such as product design, packaging, marketing, and sales data

7. Scientific equipment - microscopes, telescopes, and other scientific equipment used by adults and children are considered general purpose products. The device that the manufacturer intends to primarily use for adults (although children may use it through such programs) is a universal product. Toy versions of such items are considered children's products. If distributors or retailers sell or rent general products in bulk through distribution channels targeting children aged 12 or below in educational environments such as schools or summer camps, such distribution strategies may not necessarily translate into general products or children's products. However, if the product is packaged in an explicit or implicit manner such as graphics, themes, labels, etc., or if it is stated that the product is primarily designed or intended for use by children aged 12 or below, then if necessary considerations for all four legal factors support this decision, the product may be considered a children's product. The products mainly used by teachers are not children's products. Generally speaking, scientific equipment specifically designed for children in size, such as protective equipment, glasses, gloves or aprons, and/or featuring children's themes or decorations, is invited to use by children aged 12 or below, or is considered a children's product primarily to attract children during marketing. If the necessary considerations for all four statutory factors support this decision, it is considered as product s. The products mainly used by teachers are not children's products. Generally speaking, scientific equipment specifically designed for children in size, such as protective equipment, glasses, gloves or aprons, and/or featuring children's themes or decorations, is invited to use by children aged 12 or below, or is considered a children's product primarily to attract children during marketing. If the necessary considerations for all four statutory factors support this decision, it is considered as product s. The products mainly used by teachers are not children's products. Generally speaking, scientific equipment specifically designed for children in size, such as protective equipment, glasses, gloves or aprons, and/or featuring children's themes or decorations, is invited to use by children aged 12 or below, or is considered a children's product primarily to attract children during marketing.

8. Sports goods and entertainment equipment - Sports goods primarily intended for use by consumers aged 12 and above are considered general purpose items. Sports equipment suitable for adult size is a general purpose item, although some children aged 12 or below may use them. Unless such products are specifically sold to children aged 12 or below, or have additional features that make them more suitable for children aged 12 or below than adults, they will be considered general purpose products. If children aged 12 or below primarily use this product because it is too small or unsuitable for older children, it may be considered a children's product. Similarly, entertainment equipment such as roller skates, skateboards, bicycles, camping equipment, etc

9. Musical instruments - including electronic auxiliary instruments suitable for adult musicians, belong to general products. Musical instruments primarily intended for children can be distinguished from adult instruments by size and marketing themes. The committee points out that if distributors or retailers sell or rent universal instruments in bulk through distribution channels targeting children aged 12 or under in educational environments (such as schools or summer camps), such distribution strategies will not necessarily convert universal products into children's products. However, if the product is packaged in an explicit or implicit manner such as graphics, themes, labels, etc.
