How do you determine whether a product is a childrens toy for purposes of compliance with the phthalate limits?
Section 108 limits the amount of phthalates in childrens toys and certain other child care articles. A childrens toy is a consumer product designed or intended by the manufacturer for a child 12 years of age or younger for use by the child when the child plays. Any determination as to whether a particular product is designed and intended for use by a child 12 years of age or younger, would be made on a case by case basis after consideration of the following factors: • A statement by the manufacturer about the intended use of the product, including a label on the product if such statement is reasonable. • Whether the product is represented in its packaging, display, promotion or advertising as appropriate for use by the ages specified. • Whether the product is commonly recognized by consumers as being intended for use by a child of the ages specified. • The Age Determination Guidelines issued by the Commission staff in September 2002, and any successor to such guidelines.
