2. The 0.1% limit for the six banned phthalates applies to each individual phthalate, not the total amount of these phthalates in the product.
3. In order to provide additional guidance, CPSC will be evaluating the determination of children's toy for the purposes of compliance with the phthalates limit. In the interim, the Commission staff plans to use the definition of toy in the ASTM F963-07 toy standard for guidance.

5. An unbanned phthalate or an alternative plasticizer that is not one of the banned phthalates may be used in a children's toy or child care article. However, manufacturers are still responsible for ensuring that children's products are not considered “hazardous” under the general requirements of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA).

Life jackets are not consumer products, they would not be considered as "children’s products" or “children’s toys" under the CPSIA and would not be subject to CPSIA requirements applicable to children's products. However, toy versions of life jackets or flotation devices like "water wings" do fall within the CPSC's jurisdiction.
