Easter basket toys compliance

Easter basket assortments combine choke hazards (small toys, jelly-filled eggs), seasonal plush, and novelty items often marketed to toddlers. Each configuration sold as a unit needs a clear age grade, CPSC-accepted testing for cited rules, and a CPC from the US importer. Pre-packaged basket kits are especially risky when one component fails small-parts limits for the labeled age.

Age grade drives the test plan

  • Under 3: small parts and accessible components scrutinized heavily.
  • 3+: still need ASTM F963 and chemical rules; marketing must match.
  • Avoid mixing toddler-targeted packaging with items tested only for 6+.

Multi-supplier baskets

If you assemble baskets from several factories, the importer still certifies the sold configuration. Either test the finished basket as a system or maintain traceability proving every inner SKU is already covered — Amazon rarely accepts a patchwork of unrelated factory letters.

Questions people ask

Are fillable plastic eggs children’s products?

When sold for Easter baskets aimed at kids, yes — treat as children’s products. Empty general-purpose storage eggs marketed only to adults differ; listing copy matters.

Can candy and toys share one CPC?

Food and toys follow different regimes. Toys need CPSIA; food needs FDA compliance. Do not blend them on one children’s product certificate.
