CPC for children’s straw cups

Children’s Straw Cups 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, phthalate, and small-parts rules, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.

Rules sellers cite for straw cup

  • Lead and phthalates on cup bodies, straws, and valves; small-parts on detachable straw tips for under-3 grades.
  • 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

Valve mold integrity after bite simulation, straw length and small-parts, and material match for “soft spout” marketing.

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.
