Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) became law in August 2008 and is applicable to certain products manufactured after November 12, 2008. The CPSIA enhances current U.S. product safety laws and primarily covers hazardous substances and flammability requirements for children’s products, as well as flammability requirements for general wear apparel. The law also requires the issuance of a General Conformity Certificate (GCC) or Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) for all products imported into the U.S. subject to safety regulations enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. 


We can confirm that each applicable product manufactured after November 12, 2008 and imported by us is accompanied by an electronic CPSIA certificate and meets all applicable testing and labeling requirements under the CPSIA. Electronic CPSIA certificates (GCCs and CPCs) or instructions for accessing them can be found on our CPSIA Certificates page.



We remind customers that the GCCs and CPCs we provide relate to blank, undecorated products we sell and that customers may have their own obligations for product safety standards.
