CPC for children’s lunch boxes

Children’s Lunch Boxes 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/phthalates and children’s product rules as applicable, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.

Rules sellers cite for lunch box

  • Kids’ lunch boxes are children’s products; soft plastics, coatings, and prints are chemical focus areas.
  • 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

Phthalates in soft vinyl, lead in prints/coatings, and zipper pulls as small parts for younger grades.

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.
