Baby bottles, sippy cups, bibs, and feeding utensils
CPSC requirements for this product type. Group: Feeding and soothing.
Certificate and rules
As a children's product (the usual case)
- Certificate
- Children's Product Certificate (CPC)
- Testing by a CPSC-accepted lab
- Required for the rules marked below
- Rules that likely apply
- 15 U.S.C. 1278a: Total lead content Third-party testing
- 16 CFR part 1307: Phthalates Third-party testing
Conditional rules
These rules apply only when the condition fits your product.
- If product has paint, ink, or a similar surface coating: 16 CFR part 1303
Notes
Phthalates (16 CFR 1307) apply because a product designed to facilitate feeding of children 3 and younger is a 'child care article' under 16 CFR 1307.2(b); CPSC's Feb 2009 guidance gives a sippy cup as an example. Only applies if intended for children 3 and younger; older kids' tableware is a children's product (lead) but not a child care article. Feeding products are exempt from the small parts regulation (16 CFR 1501.3(e)). FDA food-contact rules also apply and are not covered here.
Other requirements
- Tracking label (CPSIA section 103) on product and packaging
