Do garment labels need to be tested to the lead requirements?
A8: The CPSIA requires lead content compliance of all accessible materials on children’s products. This would include the accessible label. Note that this could change should the CPSC decide to exempt certain materials from lead testing. Until such a decision is made, all accessible materials would have to be tested to confirm compliance. If identical labels (same manufacturer, identical materials) are used in more than one garment, we would not have to duplicate the testing as long as you have the traceability that the labels are identical.
