What are the standards for promotional give-away items that are for promotional use only– items that will be produced one time only and not on an ongoing basis, and which are not for resale?
A7: Promotional items are not excluded from CPSIA requirements. Any promotional children’s products would be subject to the lead in surface coatings and lead in substrates requirements under CPSIA. If they are toys, they would also be subject to ASTM F 963-08 as well as to the phthalates limits. If they are child-care articles, those, too, would be subject to the appropriate phthalates limits. With promo tional items, it is important to make a determination of who the product is intended for. If it is intended for a child 12 years of age or younger, it will certainly fall under the scope of CPSIA.
