Captuer Headwear strives to ensure all applicable materials used in the production of our headwear meets the safety standards mandated by the CPSIA in regards to headwear and lead content in metal components used in children’s products. Captuer Headwear therefore has tested all metal components used in the production of our headwear by a third party laboratory and all metal components are found to be in compliance with current CPSIA standards.
Captuer Headwear will gladly provide lead content certification documentation for applicable styles upon request.
