4. How do I know whether a toy may be placed in a child’s mouth?
Answer:
Congress stated that the interim ban on DINP, DIDP, and DnOP applies only to children’s toys that can be placed in a child’s mouth. It provided the following definition of when a toy can be placed in a child’s mouth. “A toy can be placed in a child’s mouth if any part of the toy can actually be brought to the mouth and kept in the mouth by a child so that it can be sucked and chewed.” If the toy can only be licked, it is not able to be placed in the mouth. By definition, if a toy* or part of a toy in one dimension is smaller than 5 centimeters, it can be placed in the mouth. Thus, any toy in a baby’s hand that can make it into the baby’s mouth to be sucked on, or chewed, is subject to the interim ban. *Use ASTM F963-08 definition of toy.
