A broad description such as soft toy is not enough to define every chemical-evaluation question. Relevant components and their material information need to be identified.
CPSC provides business guidance on phthalate restrictions for applicable children's toys and child-care articles. CPSC — Phthalates Business Guidance.
Describe the materials accurately
For a character concept, give the responsible specialist the relevant textile, print, plastic and other component information that is available. Keep unknown composition visibly unresolved.
Avoid blanket conclusions
A result for one specimen does not automatically establish every component's status. Use the current United States framework and competent product-specific review. This article does not claim that PLUSHIP materials are phthalate-free or that a particular item has completed the required assessment.
