Teether-specific notes
Teethers are mouthed intensively, so labs focus on phthalates in any plasticized material, lead in every component, and small parts after abuse testing (freezing a water-filled teether is foreseeable use). Water-filled teethers should document sterility and leak testing with the lab.
Questions people ask
Do silicone pacifiers need phthalates testing?
Silicone is generally phthalate-free, but the lab verifies the material rather than assuming. Testing scope follows the materials actually used.
Are wooden teethers certified differently?
Same rules, different material focus: wood substrate lead, any finish or oil food-safety review, and small parts after abuse. discuss finish documentation with your lab.
Does the pacifier CPC cite the toy standard?
No: pacifiers cite their own standard (16 CFR Part 1511) plus the chemical rules that apply. The toy standard is for toys.
