sessions with up to 60 children aged 2–
4 years old and their caregivers, for a
total of 120 participants. Caregivers will
answer a series of screening questions to
determine if the caregiver and child
meet the criteria for enrollment in the
study. CPSC will enroll in the data
collection study children and caregivers
who meet the screening criteria and are
willing to participate.
Over two in-person sessions,
researchers will collect data primarily
through direct human observations of
children’s interactions with toys and
caregivers’ responses to questionnaires.
In each session, researchers will
introduce children to 4–5 toys chosen
from 6 toy categories (smart toys, takeapart vehicles, musical instruments,
figurines, plush toys with electronic
components, and manipulatives). The
researcher will demonstrate for the
child how to use each toy and then
document the child’s play patterns with
the toy, noting the child’s ability to
interact with each toy as the
manufacturer intended. Researchers will
use coding checklists to document realtime observations of the child’s
interactions with the toys, in the form
of concrete behaviors across different
modalities, such as gross motor (e.g.,
turns figurines head), fine motor (e.g.,
slides switch on/off), and behavioral
(e.g., feeding an animal, engages in
pretend play with one or multiple
figurines), which demonstrate the
child’s ability to use the toy as intended.
Caregivers will respond to researcher
questions about the caregiver’s
perception of their child’s ability to
interact with the selected toys as
intended, potential purchasing
decisions for the specific toys, and
whether the caregiver would
demonstrate how to play with the toys
or some of the components as the
manufacturer intends. Researchers will
record on paper forms their observations
of children’s interactions and caregiver’s
responses to questions about the toys.
Researchers will randomize the
presentation order of the toys for each
caregiver/child pair to preclude any
effects of sequence and control for
learning or fatigue that might take place.
Also, researchers will use video cameras
to record each child’s interaction with a
toy. Researchers will use the video as a
backup reference for real time coding.
Researchers will separate out all
personally identifiable information from
data collected. Also, researchers will
separate out from collected information
all identifying information from the
initial screening, as well as scheduling.
This information will be kept on a
secure server in password protected
files and discarded by researchers when

no longer needed. At the end of each
session, researchers will save the video
data onto a secure server. Researchers
will enter data recorded on the paper
forms into a secure database, which also
will be kept on a secure server.
Researchers will limit access to this
information and will summarize all
information collected during the
sessions using generic categories and
summary statistics.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: Created in 1972, the CPSC
is an independent federal regulatory
agency with a public health and safety
mission to protect the public from
unreasonable risks of injury and death
from consumer products used in and
around the home, in recreation, and in
schools. As part of this statutory
mandate, CPSC is authorized to conduct
research on consumer products and
behavior to identify and address
product safety hazards, as well as to
develop efficient and effective means of
bringing about safety improvements.
This information collection supports the
Commission’s strategic goal of safety.
Age-appropriate toys are important for
the physical, intellectual, and
socioemotional development of
children. Age-appropriate toys can help
children learn, develop imaginative
capacities, and refine motor
coordination. However, interacting with
toys intended for older children poses a
potential risk for the child to be
seriously or fatally injured. In 2021, an
estimated 206,400 toy-related injuries
were treated in U.S. hospital emergency
rooms.2 Of the 206,400 toy-related
injuries, an estimated 74% happened to
children 14 years of age or younger;
69% occurred to children 12 years of
age or younger; and 37% happened to
children 4 years of age or younger.
To identify a toy’s safety hazards, the
CPSC Division of Human Factors first
determines the intended age group of
potential users. CPSC considers age
determinations for toys to be of
paramount importance because agegrading and labeling can be used to
assist consumers in making purchasing
decisions, and also serve as the basis for
the toy’s regulatory requirements and
the associated testing parameters. For
example, toys intended for children
under 8 years of age are required to
undergo use and abuse tests based on
actual use and misuse by children of
that age. Test specifications vary for

different age groups (i.e., children 18
months and younger, 19–36 months,
and 37–95 months). Toys intended for
children younger than 3 years old
cannot possess small parts.
Additionally, since 2008, CPSC
regulations require lead and phthalates
limitations for many products intended
for children 12 years of age.
CPSC staff consider numerous toy
characteristics when determining the
intended age, including the physical
characteristics of the toy (e.g., size and
weight of the toy and its components),
the cognitive requirements for using the
toy as intended, the fine motor or other
physical skills required to use the toy as
the manufacturer intended, and the
toy’s theme and appearance. CPSC’s Age
Determination Guidelines: Relating
Consumer Product Characteristics to the
Skills, Play Behaviors, and Interests of
Children (Guidelines), available at
https://www.cpsc.gov/content/2020Age-Determination-Guidelines, provide
details and examples for each of these
characteristics for different age groups.
Manufacturers can use the Guidelines to
generate an intended age during a toy’s
design phase. Manufacturers can also
use the Guidelines to accurately age
label a product, which promotes safety
by informing consumer purchasing and
toy-safety decisions (meaning which
toys are appropriate to allow a child to
play with).
Although the Guidelines include
extensive information about a large
variety of toys, some toy categories are
not well covered in the Guidelines
because they include toys that are new
to the U.S. market since the research
that went into the 2020 version of the
Guidelines. Conversely, while smart
toys are discussed in the Guidelines,
this category of toys evolves rapidly, so
the Guidelines may not represent what
is currently in the market. Other toys
such as figurines, interlocking building
sets, and musical toys are discussed in
the Guidelines, though not extensively.
This data collection will add to the
information about selected toys in six
toy categories (smart toys, take-apart
vehicles, musical instruments, figurines,
plush toys with electronic components,
and manipulatives), and enrich CPSC’s
understanding regarding the ages of
children who are interested in these
toys and who possess the skills and
cognitive ability to use them as
intended. This data collection will
provide information to help CPSC
determine the developmentally
appropriate ages for selected toys.
Ultimately, the data collection will
inform the various stakeholders who use
the information contained in the
Guidelines.

Affected Public: Children between 2–
4 years and their caregivers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 60
children and 60 caregivers, totaling 120
individuals.
Frequency: One-time data collection
that will take place over two in-person
sessions. The first session will last 80
minutes, and the second session will
last 80 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: CPSC plans to pilot test the
study with 4 participants (2 caregivers
and 2 children) with a maximum time
burden of 2.67 hours per person (10.68
hours). CPSC also assumes a 15-minute
completion time for the recruitment
screener questionnaire to be filled out
by a maximum of 100 people, to select
60 adult participants (25 hours).
Once selected for the study, CPSC
estimates that the total time for each
respondent pair (caregiver/child) to
participate in the data collection will
likely not be more than 160 minutes.
Therefore, each participant has a
maximum time burden of 2.67 hours.
Data collection duration for each
respondent will be 2.67 hours, or a total
of 160 hours for 60 respondent pairs.
Each respondent pair will not incur any
reporting costs from the information
collection. The pair also will not incur
a record keeping burden or record
keeping costs from this information
collection. We will assume an hourly
wage rate of $31.54 for each respondent
pair (caregiver and child).3
Accordingly, the total burden hours to
recruit participants and for selected
respondents to participate is 356 hours
(recruitment screening time (25 hours),
pilot study (10.68 hours), and the main
study (2.67 hours × 120 participants)).
The total cost of this collection to the
federal government is $93,345 annually.
This represents 6 months of staff time.
This amount includes federal employee
salaries and benefits. No travel costs are
associated with the collection. This
estimate uses an annual salary of
$126,949 (the equivalent of a GS–13,
Step 5 employee, in the Washington, DC
area in 2023) 4 which represents 68.0
percent of the employer costs for
employee compensation. The remaining
