Children’s Product Certificate

1. Identification of the product covered by this certificate
   Yellow baby blanket


2. Citation to each CPSC children’s product safety rule to which this product is being certified
   15 U.S.C. § 1278a – Total lead content
   Although the certifier is not required to test based on a determination, the product is not exempt from the certification requirement; therefore, the applicable safety rule must still be listed on a CPC.


3. Identification of the domestic manufacturer or importer certifying compliance of the product
   Sam’s Blankets
   51 Blanket Street
   Los Angeles, CA 90010


4. Contact information for the individual maintaining records of test results

5. Date and place of manufacture
   July 2022
   New York, NY, USA


6. Date(s) and place(s) of testing
   N/A
   16 CFR § 1500.91(d)(7)(i) – Determinations regarding lead content for cotton
   Although referencing the citation for determinations is not required, CPSC staff highly recommends including it on a CPC for ease of review. A third-party laboratory does not need to review or “test” products for potentially applicable testing determinations – the manufacturer or importer can make that assessment themselves; however, products must be compliant with applicable regulations.


7. Identification of any third-party, CPSC-accepted laboratory who conducted the testing
   N/A
