We are contacting you as the toys you wish to list have compliance requirements. If you do not submit the information and documents requested below it may impact your ability to list these toys.
Children’s costumes constitute as toys.
AMAZON: Products are determined to be “children’s products” based on the following criteria:
- Intended use: Is the ASIN to be used by children?
How do you legally define “use”?
Children's Products | CPSC.gov [Definition]
- Packaging representation: Is the ASIN marketed towards children?
packaging, display, promotion, or advertising [Previous link]
- Age grading listed on the packaging for children 12 years of age and under
- Commonly recognized: Is the ASIN commonly known to be used by children?
- CPSC Age Determination Guidelines – Does CPSC determine the product to be a children’s product?
Why is this happening?
This requirement helps ensure products are compliant with local laws and safe for customers.
In order to list these toys on Amazon, please apply by submitting the following items.
1. We noticed that the recommended Age Grade of the ASIN is missing on the product(s) detail page.
Please update the product(s) detail page with the recommended Age Grading (the manufacturer_minimum_age attribute) identified on the ASINs third party test report in order to move forward with the approval process.
Note: This can be accomplished via the feed file. If the information is already present, then send a screenshot proving so.
2. A test report confirming that your product was successfully tested to the standards listed below by a CPSC- approved laboratory:
- All of our products are tested by a CPSC-approved laboratory [As per Nathan – Joey Teams Message]

[ASTM 17 did not exist at time of production. Instead, it was ASTM 12. Outline how ASTM 12 meets similar standards as ASTM 17]
