Notes
Metal children's jewelry is tested for total lead with CPSC methods listed in 16 CFR 1112.15(b)(28). Precious gemstones, most semiprecious stones, pearls, surgical/stainless steel, and certain precious metals are determined exempt from testing (16 CFR 1500.91). Loose or separable magnets trigger 16 CFR 1262 (jewelry, including children's jewelry, is a subject magnet product). No federal cadmium certification rule is on CPSC's lists. CPSC flags this HTS group as "Immitation Jewelry" (spelled that way in the file).
