Summary
CPSC toy safety guidance expanded the list of product categories exempt from toy safety standards (ASTM F 963). Added: tricycles, non-powered scooters, powered scooters, slingshots, and playground equipment.
Why it matters
Sellers now have clarity on which product categories don't require ASTM F 963 certification. Misclassification risks compliance violations and enforcement action; correct categorization is essential for market eligibility.
Recommended action
Review product catalog to confirm accurate categorization under CPSC toy exemptions. Audit listings for tricycles, scooters, and similar items to ensure compliance with new guidance.
