bandersnatch27 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Where can I find out the Maximum amount of chemicals etc.. that the US. will allow? I found this location, they said "yes!" but I have to bring them "Proof of Comformity" for all my toys & I"m sure they'll want to see & Of course I want to see too, what the US. Requires for the Toy's Chemicals & all that. Cause Like I have some winny the pooh toys, & I think they may now be "Illegal?in the US?" not sure,but I want to be sure. I have tons of other toys too, but I don't want to go to the location, give them proof of comformity for the WInny pooh toys & put them in the location & than they are like "Hey bro, look it says right here that there is too much of "Chemical X" in here or what ever. so Before I turn it in I want to see for my self that the toys are legitimate with the US standards. thanks guys!

alyssamma Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I would guess this is from the scare a while back w/all of the Chinese toys. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarter Master Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Bandersnatch, Sounds like what you are looking for is called the "Certification of Compliance". It pertains to toys manufactured after Nov.12,2008. Under the CPSIA Act of 2008, only the manufacturers(USA) or importers must supply this to our government. However, you should be able to get a copy of it from the people you get your products from. They are supposed to make it available to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The govt requires that a list of all chemicals be available to 911 services, and all employees, so they know how to deal with a problem, if one comes up.

Faith Vending Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The Company you got these from should have a disclaimer of disclosure they can send you. If not they need to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Bander, Yes, your supplier must make these available to you. Who is your supplier? Here is a link to the Certificates of Conformity at A&A... http://www.aa-coc.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=AAG-COC&-loadframes It allows you to search for a cert by item number.

bandersnatch27 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'm looking for something to compare my Certificates from A&A & other toys to. I want to see what the USA requires. Suppose my certificate of Conformity from A&A website says blah blah blah.. I want to see what USA's Requirement says, I want to compare my Certificates to that. For instance: I have some Winny Pooh toy's from Tomy, & I have some reason to believe that they may no longer be legal in the USA & I have the certificates for those toys right here, but nothing from the USA requirements/standards to compare them to, you understand what I'm trying to say? can some one help me with this??

MrEen Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I don't do toys, and have not looked at a COC, but I would think A&A, as well as the other toys sellers, would not have a certificate, if the toy did not "conform". It sounds to me like this certificate is supplied to the seller (so they can make it available to the buyer) AFTER the government agrees the toy is "safe" by their standards.

joebob051977 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 My answer isn't going to be a good answer, but it is a simple answer. No one is ever going to ask to see the POC. I may be wrong on this, but I dare say that no bulk vendor has ever been asked to produce this document. We all have chewed on cheap chinese made toys as children and have lived just fine. If my kids ever got anything out of a vending machine, I would probably throw it out within a week anyways. Just put the toys in your machine and don't worry about it. Before long the toys will be sold out and you won't have to worry about it anymore. Then, buy toys from a trusted source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith Vending Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Carry the POC with you in case your asked. I was asked last month, told the owner the toys conformed and he said OK; but it might make or break a deal particularly if the issue flares up again. Same thing with peanuts. Our justice system let pedofiles go free but will regulate the micrscopic taint that is in a toy capsule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our justice system let pedofiles go free but will regulate the micrscopic taint that is in a toy capsule I share your frustration Jim. Our government does nothing to track down illegal aliens, but will somehow find a way to track down "illegal" toys in vending machines! How many 6 year olds are actually eating or licking our toys? Our toys are clearly stated to not be suited for toddlers (under 3). Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
