¹ REACH : EU Regulation on chemicals ; CLP : EU regulation on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Chemical substances ; IARC International Agency on Research on Cancer ²EU definition of child care article : any product intended to facilitate sleep, relaxation, hygiene, the feeding of children or sucking on the part of children - no age specified.: EU Definition of "placing in the mouth" : A toy or child care article can be placed in the mouth if it can be brought to the mouth and kept in the mouth by a child so that it can be sucked and chewed.
