Would such items as pool toys and beach balls be considered childrens toys under the CPSIA?
Pool toys, beach balls, blow up rafts, and inner tubes designed or intended for children 12 years of age or younger would be considered childrens toys. Those objects are used by children when playing in a swimming pool or at the beach. Therefore, they would be required to comply with the section 108 limits on specified phthalates. Posted 12/04/2008.
