Infant product factory RFQ for US importers
Infant categories carry stricter scrutiny than general toys. Your RFQ should flag food-contact or child-care article concerns, expected lab standards, and that the US importer will own CPC issuance after CPSC-accepted testing.
Call out in the RFQ
- Whether items are mouthed / food-contact adjacent.
- Material preferences (silicone, PP, stainless, textiles).
- Prior test reports the factory already holds (verify later).
- Packaging and warning language ownership.
Questions people ask
Are infant products always toys?
Not always — many are child care articles with overlapping chemical rules. Your lab confirms the program.
Can I use the factory’s old report?
Only if it matches your exact product and is from an accepted lab — verify.
