CPC for swaddle blankets

Swaddle blankets designed or marketed to 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 lead, phthalate, and flammability rules, plus tracking labels on the product and packaging. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — marketplaces can request it at any time.

Which rules apply to swaddle blankets

Fabric flammability, lead in dyes and prints, phthalates and fastener review on closures.
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

Flammability of the exact textile, lead in dyes, closure hardware. Claims line is critical.

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.

Questions people ask

Can I call my swaddle "sleep safe"?

Avoid it: the CPSC treats sleep claims on infant products as a suffocation-risk red flag.

Do muslin and jersey test the same?

Both test flammability on the exact textile.
