As a TikTok Shop seller in the United States, you must indicate "Yes" or "No" for each product listed under both the California Proposition 65 (CA Prop 65) and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Choking Hazard sections. Prop 65 requires clear warnings if a product contains chemicals identified by the State of California as potentially causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. In addition, any product that includes small parts must display a choking hazard warning, as defined by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Failure to provide these declarations may result in product removal, temporary listing deactivation, or other enforcement actions. This guide helps you stay compliant. It walks you through how to update your existing product listings to meet California Proposition 65 and CPSC Choking Hazard Label requirements. It also shows you how to bulk edit or bulk upload your declarations. You can read California Proposition 65 Policy and Choking Hazard Warning Label Policy for more information.
