FAQ About Warning Bags
In the U.S., the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires that plastic bags (such as retail or packaging bags) have a suffocation warning if they meet the following criteria:
- Size: Any plastic bag that has a surface area of 100 square inches or more or is large enough to potentially fit over a child’s head (typically bags that are 12 inches or larger in any dimension) needs a warning.
- Material: The bag must be made from thin plastic film (like polyethylene) that could pose a suffocation hazard if placed over a child’s head.
If the bag meets these criteria, a suffocation warning must be printed in a visible location on the bag, usually near the opening, and the text must be legible and clear.
Bags smaller than 12 inches in any dimension or those made from thicker plastic generally do not require a suffocation warning, as they are unlikely to pose a suffocation risk to children.
The full suffocation warning typically required on plastic bags (as mandated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission) reads like this:
"WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this bag away from babies and children. Do not use this bag in cribs, beds, carriages, or playpens. This bag is not a toy."
The warning must be clearly visible and easy to read. It is usually printed in a contrasting color to the bag’s background and placed on the front of the bag, near the opening. This warning is required for plastic bags that could fit over a child’s head and meet the size criteria (usually 12 inches or more in any dimension).
