SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) staff,1 with input from the Child
and Family Research Section staff at the
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development (NICHD) within
the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
has revised the current (2002) Age
Determination Guidelines: Relating
Children’s Ages to Toy Characteristics
and Play Behavior, based on a literature
review, parent toy survey, and
observational study of children from
multiple age groups playing with select
toys. The draft revised guidance
document, Guidelines for Determining
Age Appropriateness of Toys, addresses
toys that have come onto the market
since the last update and provides
changes to the recommended age group
for certain classic toys. Many toy-related
injuries could be prevented by agelabeling products for the age group for
whom they are intended. Providing the
consumer product toy industry with
better age-grading guidance, and
describing how these principles can be
applied to their products, can help
reduce product-related incidents and
reduce costly compliance and
enforcement actions.
The draft guidance document is
intended for CPSC staff, industry
stakeholders, third party testing
laboratories, and manufacturers in the
consumer product toy sector. The draft
guidance can be tailored to meet the
needs of a particular toy, recognizing
that not all guidance applies to all
products. The draft guidance document
is not a rule and does not establish
legally enforceable responsibilities.
The draft guidance document is
available on the Commission’s website
