Amazon's policies, regulations, or standard requirements for children's upper outerwear with drawstrings
Amazon's CPC testing standards for children's upper outerwear with drawstrings: CPSIA + ASTM F1816 + 16 CFR 1610
Children's upper outerwear with drawstrings covered by this policy:
This policy applies to children's upper outerwear with drawstrings, including but not limited to: sizes 2T to 12 (large), children's upper outerwear with drawstrings at the hood and neck (such as sweatshirts and jackets), and sizes 2T to 16 (extra-large), children's upper outerwear with drawstrings at the waist and bottom.
Non-upper outerwear such as pants, shorts, and skirts are not covered by this policy.
Amazon's policy for children's clothing with drawstrings:
If the drawstrings on children's upper outerwear become entangled with other objects, it may cause hazards. When the garment is fully expanded, its waist and bottom drawstrings should not extend more than 3 inches beyond the drawstring exit. Additionally, the free ends of the drawstrings must not have toggles, knots, or other attachments. If the waist and bottom drawstrings on children's upper outerwear in sizes 2T to 16 are a single continuous drawstring, they must be sewn down (using a bartack process) to prevent the entire drawstring from being pulled out.
Buyers should have full confidence in Amazon, knowing they can find a wide selection of safe, reliable, and compliant products in the Amazon store. Amazon does not allow the listing or sale of prohibited, non-compliant, or unsafe products in its store. For safety reasons, Amazon prohibits the sale of children's upper outerwear in sizes 2T to 12 with drawstrings at the hood and neck (such as jackets and sweatshirts), which are typically worn as the outermost layer. Underwear, base layers, and other innerwear are not subject to this requirement.
Amazon requires that all other children's upper outerwear in sizes 2T to 16 (extra-large) with drawstrings at the waist and bottom be tested and comply with the following specific regulations and standard requirements:
All of the following:
ASTM F1816-18 (Standard Safety Specification for Drawstrings on Children's Upper Outerwear); and
