CPC for children’s water bottles

Children’s Water Bottles 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 chemical rules; food-contact expectations coordinated with the lab, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.
