CPC for children’s water shoes

Children’s Water Shoes 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 and phthalate rules, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.

Rules sellers cite for water shoe

  • Phthalates in rubber and EVA soles, lead in prints and hardware, drainage design review as documented by the lab.
