CPC for easter basket toys

Which rules apply to easter basket toys

• Easter basket toys (plush chicks, wind-ups, eggs with toys inside, candy-adjacent items) follow the standard toy certification: small parts are the defining issue — basket items for under-3s are a small-parts minefield by design.
• CPSIA section 101 total lead content in accessible substrate materials.
• 16 CFR part 1303 lead in paint and surface coatings where painted or coated.
• CPSIA section 103 tracking labels: manufacturer, location, and date of manufacture on product and packaging.

The testing and certification path

Testing covers every item in the basket: small parts on toys and eggs, lead in painted items, phthalates in plastic, and the food-adjacent questions when candy shares the basket. Basket sets are certified with the union of their components’ requirements.

Book testing at a laboratory that is CPSC-accepted for each rule, issue the CPC in your own name citing the rules your report supports, and keep the certificate with its test report for at least five years. Marketplaces ask for the pair, not the certificate alone.
