Age-Labeling4.1 Jewelry often features decorative motifs such as ani-mals, flowers, insects, initials or names, characters, as well asbright colors, beads and other materials. Because jewelry wit
36、hthese motifs can be designed and intended primarily for adultsor can be designed and intended primarily for children,manufacturer age labels, marketing, advertising, distribution,size and retail store placement must be considered in deter-mining whether jewelry is childrens jewelry. In evaluatingwh
37、en jewelry is primarily intended for children 12 years of ageor younger, the following factors should be considered:4.1.1 A statement by the manufacturer about the intendeduse of the product, including a label on the product if suchstatement is reasonable;4.1.2 Whether the product is represented in
38、its packaging,display, promotion or advertising as appropriate for use by theages specified; and4.1.3 Whether the product is commonly recognized byconsumers as being primarily intended for use by a child of theages specified.4.1.4 The CPSC Age Determination Guidelines: RelatingChildrensAges to Toy C
39、haracteristics and Play Behavior (AgeDetermination Guidelines).4.1.4.1 The Age Determination Guidelines were developedto identify toy characteristics and play behavior. They are ofmost value in evaluating the appropriate age grading of jewelryonce the jewelry is identified as primarily intended for
40、children12 and younger looking at the other factors. Jewelry is notrecommended for children under 3 except under close parentalsupervision. Annex A1 outlines considerations important todetermining when jewelry is childrens jewelry for purposes ofdetermining age suitability.4.2 It is recommended that
41、 childrens jewelry include an agelabel to provide point-of-sale guidance to consumers about theselection of appropriate jewelry for children of average abili-ties and interests as to safety-related aspects of childrensjewelry, based on the manufacturers design and intent, wheresuch labeling is feasi
42、ble and appropriate.4.3 When childrens jewelry is age-labeled, the label shouldbe placed in a location likely to be seen by the purchaser undertypical retail conditions. For childrens jewelry that is pack-aged, it should appear in a location on the package where it islikely to be seen by the purchas
43、er, since the type of package,form and format may differ. Some childrens jewelry is soldwith a small price tag (34 338 in. in size) attached. Age labelsand any other required warnings could appear on the back ofprice tags attached to individual items of unpackaged chil-drens jewelry. Earrings are of
44、ten sold on earring cards, wherethe side of the card facing the consumer is covered by theearring itself. The back of the card typically includes pricingand other information. The age label could be placed on theback of the price tag or earring card, or could appear in a retaillocation where it is l
45、ikely to be seen by the purchaser, such asa retail shelf card.4.4 Many childrens jewelry items are sold in an unpack-aged form, displayed on T-Bar or similar displays, or laid outin cases or special display stands. Items may or may notinclude individual price tags and price information may beavailab
46、le at a bin, container, case or display area. For jewelrythat is not packaged, the age label or other warnings mayappear on the individual price tag or may be presented in theform of a retail shelf card or display card in a size and formreasonably calculated to be seen by the purchaser. Age labelsfo
47、r childrens jewelry sold in print catalogues or online storesshould be displayed with the item or, if all childrens jewelryavailable for sale in the area or section of the catalogue oronline store is subject to the same age recommendation, the agelabel may be displayed in a size and form reasonably
