*For specific items only

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires a small parts hazard warning label on certain toys and games intended for children over three, but not older than six years of age. Additionally, it requires a cautionary labeling requirement on small balls (with a diameter of 1.75” or less), balloons and marbles. The warning must be displayed on the principal display panel and on associated literature or instructions.

1. The exclamation mark inside the equilateral triangle must be at least half the height of the triangle.

2. “WARNING” must be separated from the triangle (distance 1) by at least the size of the first letter of the word, e.g. “W.”

3. This statement layout can be square or rectangular, and with or without border.

*For specific items only

All values are given in parts per million (ppm) – same as mg/kg Limits apply to both surface coatings and accessible substrate materials unless otherwise noted

Notes: (1) EN71 Part 3 will have different requirements as of July 2013 (2) Limit for Modeling Clay only (3) Surface coatings only (4) Only applicable to mouth items and those intended for children under 3 years, per Consumer Products Containing Lead (Contact with Mouth) Regulations (SOR/2010-273)
