Changing a label does not by itself resolve how a product is classified. The actual item, presentation and intended use need an appropriate review.
CPSC's children's-product guidance considers multiple factors when determining intended users. CPSC — Children’s Products.
Present the complete proposal
For a character product, provide the relevant design, packaging and marketing context. Keep an internal adult-collector description separate from evidence about how the item is actually designed and presented.
Use the proper framework
Ask the responsible compliance specialist to assess the actual United States classification and applicable requirements. Do not adopt an age statement merely to avoid an inconvenient evaluation. Other markets need their own current framework and product-specific review.
