CPC for formula dispensers

Formula Dispensers 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 CPSIA lead and phthalate rules, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.

Rules sellers cite for formula dispenser

  • Lead and phthalate screening on compartments, lids, and funnel parts; small-parts on rotating lids for under-3 if marketed to caregivers of infants.
  • CPSIA Section 101 total lead content in accessible materials.
  • 16 CFR Part 1303 lead in paint and surface coatings where coated.
  • CPSIA Section 103 tracking labels on product and packaging.

Testing focus and certification

Powder-contact plastics screened for phthalates; hinge pinch points; drop testing on compartment lids. Not food-additive approved — avoid “sterile” claims without evidence.

Book a CPSC-accepted lab for the exact rules, then issue the CPC in your importer name citing the report. Keep certificate and report together for at least five years.
