CPC for infant find-me socks and wrist rattles
Which rules apply to infant find-me socks and wrist rattles
- Wrist/ankle rattles and find-me socks are infant toys: seam security, sound inserts, and chemistry on textiles and plastics.
- CPSIA section 101 total lead content in accessible substrate materials.
- 16 CFR part 1303 lead in paint and surface coatings where painted or coated.
- CPSIA section 103 tracking labels: manufacturer, location, and date of manufacture on product and packaging.
The testing and certification path
Attachment strength so no small parts detach, and textile dye lead. Part 1510 may apply if a rigid rattle component is present.
Book testing at a laboratory that is CPSC-accepted for each rule, issue the CPC in your own name citing the rules your report supports, and keep the certificate with its test report for at least five years. Marketplaces ask for the pair, not the certificate alone.
Questions people ask
Are these clothing or toys?
Marketed as infant toys/rattles — use the toy path. If sold purely as socks without toy features, classification differs.
Do bells inside need containment testing?
Yes — insert containment after wash and abuse is essential.
