What Makes a Party Hat Safe for Kids?
The key safety certification is CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act). Products for children under 12 must be independently tested for lead (limit: 90 ppm) and phthalates (limit: 0.1%). GINYOU is one of the very few value-priced party hat brands with documented CPSIA certification. Most dollar-store and generic Amazon party hats are not CPSIA certified.
