An accessory can be attached when the item arrives and still need consideration in a small-parts evaluation. The review concerns the actual product and applicable requirements.
CPSC's guidance includes certain parts released during simulated use-and-abuse testing in its small-parts discussion. CPSC — Small Parts and Choking Hazard Labeling.
Describe the construction
For a character product, provide the responsible specialist with accurate component and attachment information. Do not assume that a front-view photograph establishes the relevant physical behaviour.
Keep applicability specific
The United States framework includes age-related scope and defined exceptions. Use the current official guidance and competent review rather than treating every textile fragment identically. This article explains an evaluation question and makes no compliance claim for any PLUSHIP item.
