Our promise to you

Toy safety starts long before a box reaches your door. We’re a small, family-run shop, not a testing lab, so our job is to choose carefully, ask for the right paperwork, explain it in plain words and stand behind every toy we sell. Here’s what that looks like.

• A clear age on every toyEach listing shows a recommended starting age. When a toy has small parts or magnets, we list it for ages 3 and up, and when the maker’s age and the toy’s design point to different ages, we choose the older one.
• Certificates you can check yourselfWhen a Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) has been issued for a toy, we link it on the toy’s page and in our certificate library, so you can read it before you buy.
• Warnings where you’ll see themChoking-hazard, magnet and supervision notes sit right on the toy page, not buried in fine print.
• Honest words about materialsWe describe what a toy is made of. We don’t use labels like “non-toxic” or “eco-friendly” unless the maker’s documentation supports them for that toy.
• Quick, open answersAsk us anything about a toy’s safety and a real person will reply. If a safety issue ever affects a toy we sell, you’ll find it on our safety notices page.

How we review a toy before it reaches our shelf

Every toy goes through the same four checks before we list it. If any of them raise a question we can’t answer, the toy doesn’t make the shop.

1. Purpose and stageDoes it invite hands-on play, and which age does it truly suit?
2. Size and buildWe review dimensions, piece sizes, edges, finishes and how parts attach.
3. Safety paperworkWe ask for the age grading and the Children’s Product Certificate.
4. An honest listingAge, materials, warnings and care tips go on the page in plain words.

What U.S. toy safety rules cover

Toys sold for children in the United States must meet the federal toy safety standard, ASTM F963, along with other rules that apply to children’s products, such as limits on lead in paint and coatings. Toys for children under 3 can’t contain small parts that could be swallowed or inhaled.

The manufacturer or importer must certify that a toy meets these rules in a Children’s Product Certificate, based on testing by a third-party lab accepted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Our CPC certificates page explains what a certificate lists and how to read one.

Safe play at home

Even the most carefully made toy is only as safe as the way it’s used. A few habits go a long way:

• Follow the age on the toy. A 3+ label is about safety, not skill. Keep 3+ toys away from younger children, even if they’re curious.
• Stay close during play. Supervise young children, especially with toys that have small pieces, cords, wheels or magnets.
• Keep older siblings’ toys separate. Store toys with small parts up high or in a closed container after play.
• Keep cords away from sleep. Store pull-along toys and anything with a string away from cribs, beds and play yards.
• Check toys now and then. Look for cracks, splinters, loose parts or peeling paint. Our toy care guide has a quick checklist.

Toy safety questions

Are JuniSprouts toys safety tested?

Toys sold for children in the U.S. must be certified as meeting the federal toy safety standard and other applicable rules, based on testing by a CPSC-accepted third-party lab. When a Children’s Product Certificate has been issued for a toy we sell, we link it on that toy’s page and in our certificate library so you can see which rules it was tested to and when.

Where can I find a toy’s CPC?

Look under Details & care on the toy’s page, or search our certificate library. If you don’t see one for the toy you’re interested in, email us at support@junisprouts.com and we’ll share the safety documentation we have.

Why are some toys listed for ages 3 and up?

Toys with small parts or magnets are listed for ages 3+ because young children explore with their mouths and can choke on small pieces. Our age grading guide explains what each age range means.

How do I report a safety concern about a toy?

Put the toy away, take a photo and email us at support@junisprouts.com with your order number. If someone was hurt, get medical help first. You can also report unsafe products to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov. See safety notices & recalls for the details.
