Labels, is this what we need?

[#1]

My shop is in a serious need to meet all CPSIA and FTC standards. I need help getting there. I've done some research, but my brain hurts. Is this what I need in terms of labels?

CPSIA LABEL:
1.Manufacturer (business name)
2.Location (i.e. Santa Barbara, CA. USA)
3.contact (i.e. etsy address)
4.ITEM Tracking number (i.e. 1- all fabric doll, 2- doll w/ pretested buttons, 3-etc.)
5.DOM (DATE of Manufacture)

FTC LABEL:
1.name (no need to repeat in combo with CPSIA label)
2.fiber disclosure (by %)
3.country (for each material%)
4.care instructions (i.e. surface wash only)
5. any cautionary warnings (i.e. CAUTION! CHOKING HAZARD. Contains small parts. Not suitable for children under the age of three.


Does this look right? I make dolls which haven't been for children, but with all this CSPIA/FTC stuff I have to abide b/c they may appeal to children. Plus I love kids, so I want to start making items that are suitable for kids.

Also, if I use a permanent ink pen to mark the DOM, how do I know that it's safe and keeps with the CPSIA standards?

I believe fabrics are exempt, so if your buttons are purely fabric then i think you're fine. BUT if they consist of anything that is not fabric (or an exempted material), then it'll have to be tested. You should look up what you can on buttons. Some people have found suppliers that test their buttons and meet the CPSC standards.

I have a lot of buttons that can no longer be used for my dolls b/c I have no clue who made them.
