The small parts rule, in plain words
Federal law bans children's products intended for children under 3 that present a choking, aspiration or ingestion hazard because of small parts. The ban is at 16 CFR part 1501, and a small part is anything that fits entirely into a test cylinder sized like the throat of a child under three4.
Products for older children that are or contain small parts, balloons, small balls or marbles must carry a choking hazard warning telling buyers not to give them to children under a certain age (16 CFR 1500.19), and advertising for those toys must use the same warning4.
What that means at home: a crate made for a 6 year old can lawfully contain parts a baby could choke on. If a younger sibling is around, open and store older children's kits out of reach.
Matching a box to a child
Step 1
Use the stated range, not the top of it
A child at the bottom of a range may need more help; at the top, less.
Step 2
Look a year ahead
On an annual plan, check the range covers your child's age for the whole year.
Step 3
Check every box's warning label
Labels follow the contents, which change month to month.
