Our plush is CPSIA compliant and safe for all ages.   

CPSIA Compliant

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) requires importers and manufacturers of children’s products, such as plush, to comply with relevant documentation, labeling, and third-party testing requirements.

It does not matter whether the purchaser intends the plush product to be given only to adults. Plush is classified by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) as a “toy” intended for children aged 12 years and younger and must meet appropriate requirements.

ASTM F963 is the standard that covers all toys entering the U.S. market and has been a model for international standards. All toys and children's products must comply with a series of mechanical, chemical, and flammability specifications.

Items marked CPSIA compliant require specific tracking information to be present to identify the origin in the event of product recall.

 

Labeling Requirements

All stuffed animals and plush toys sold in the U.S. must feature the following information on a permanently affixed tracking label:

  • Manufacturer or private labeler name.
  • Location and date of production of the product.
  • Detailed information on the manufacturing process, such as a batch or run number, or other identifying characteristics.
  • Any other information to facilitate ascertaining the specific source of the product.
  • Tracking label information should be visible and legible.

Plush is measured overall.
