CPC for glow sticks for kids

Glow Sticks for Kids 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/chemical rules as applicable for lightsticks marketed to children, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.
