Children’s Products Defined;

 The CPSC has defined a “children’s product” to mean a consumer product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger. In determining whether a consumer product is primarily intended for a child 12 years of age or younger, you need to consider 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 children 12 years of age or younger.

 • Whether the product is commonly recognized by consumers as being intended for use by a child 12 years of age or younger.

 • The Age Determination Guidelines issued by the Commission staff in September 2002, and any successor to such guidelines.

 The lead content limit applies to all children’s products.
