How do I know if a toy can be “placed in a child’s mouth,” making it subject to the interim prohi bition on phthalates?
A4: A toy can be placed in a child’s mouth if any part of the toy can actually be brought to the mouth and kept in the mouth by a child so that it can be sucked and chewed. It if can only be licked, it is not re garded as able to be placed in the mouth. If a toy or any part of that toy in one dimension is smaller than 5 centimeters, it can be placed in the mouth.
