I would like to get my sock monkey tested

I need information for some testing labs.
Can anyone help me.
I am in Grand Rapids Michigan.
I am getting a Rep and they need a certificate that my sock monkeys are tested.

HELP!

http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html

You should be able to find a certified 3rd party testing lab there. It really looks like everything is exempt from cpsia testing from what I can tell from you pictures. But you will still have to have the testing for pulling, tearing that is needed I do believe.

Re: I would like to get my sock monkey tested

Here's a link to the CPSIA's accredited labs http://cpsc.gov/cgi-bin/labapplist.aspx . At the bottom is a way to narrow the search by the country the lab is located in and by what test you need done.

This link, http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/faq/elecertfaq.pdf , will tell you what you need by law on your GCC. If all of your raw materials, like non metallic looking fabrics and threads, are on the exemption list http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/frnotices/fr09/leaddeterminationsfinalrule-draft.pdf this maybe what the retailer is looking for rather than the exepensive lead testing. If your items are made with entirely exempt materials you may need to also send a hard copy of the exemption list highlighting which materials you used to show that the government does not require lead testing on items made that way.

If it's certs on other testing like durability or small parts there are no exemptions from this if your products fall into the target age group (birth to 6 yrs old) that requires this type of testing.

Re: I would like to get my sock monkey tested

So, if you are making baby blankets and crib bedding that is intended for babies (under 6) made completely of exempt textiles - no buttons, zippers, etc. and no small parts, do you have to have durability testing?

Where is a document that says this?

As a sock monkey creator myself, I think sock monkey aptitude testing is a great idea!

Re: I would like to get my sock monkey tested

So, the old "sock monkey" needs testing eh? I've never heard it called a sock monkey before. May I recommend a using a doctor who can do the "necessary" testing and you can then turn those "test" results over to "whoever" needs them. Sorry, couldn't help it. I tried to resist but that little devil won out! I just had to show friends this post--to funny!

Re: I would like to get my sock monkey tested

I am not very knowledgeable about these things since I don't sell children's items but the title just gave me a chuckle. All I could think of was when they tested my daughter for gifted and talented program...I think you should definitely get your monkey tested...he looks like a bright little fellow :)
