CPC for baby utensils and feeding sets
Which rules apply to baby utensils and feeding sets
- Spoons, forks, and feeding sets for infants/toddlers need lead and phthalate screening plus small-parts review on handles and silicone tips.
- 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
Mouth-contact materials, handle retention after bite/pull, and coatings on “metal + silicone” hybrids.
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
