CPC for children’s card games

Children’s Card Games designed or marketed primarily for children 12 and under are children’s products: they need third-party testing at a CPSC-accepted laboratory and a Children’s Product Certificate citing toy standard and lead/ink considerations, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.
