Six statements

Word for word

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page15
The sentence is the requirement.

The statements are given as text

Each one a complete sentence with its own punctuation, capitalization and abbreviation.

Including the abbreviation

Not for children under 3 yrs. With yrs abbreviated and a full stop, which is how the section prints it.

And the dash

CHOKING HAZARD followed by a dash and then the hazard. The structure is the same across five of the six.

So a paraphrase is not compliance

Conveying the same information in different words is not what a prescribed statement asks for.

Which is the same shape as the alcohol warning

The beer property quotes a 283 character statement with two numbered clauses, also prescribed word for word.

And the cosmetic warning

The cannabis topicals property quotes a 59 character statement from 21 CFR 740.10. Three properties, three prescribed sentences.

These six are the shortest of the set

Around 50 characters each except the balloon statement, which explains itself and is longer.

Which matters because the articles are small

A 50 character sentence on a package for a marble is a different layout problem from the same sentence on a wine bottle.

The section has prominence requirements for that reason

Described elsewhere in it, along with a requirement for warning symbols. Those are not quoted here.

And a symbol is an additional element

So the required mark is a sentence plus a symbol, not a sentence alone, which is more area again.

Our smallest container is 0.617 inches across

Which is a lip balm tube, and the available print area on it is a fraction of what a 50 character sentence plus a symbol needs.

Which is why the statement usually goes on secondary packaging

A carton or a card, rather than on the container. We sell primary containers.

And the capitalization is part of it

CHOKING HAZARD in capitals in five of the six. Capitals are wider than lowercase in almost every typeface, which makes the line longer than the character count suggests.

Pick the sentence, then find the area

Which is the order, and the six options are the first decision.

References

16 CFR 1500.19(b), cautionary statements required in the wording given: "CHOKING HAZARD--Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs."; "CHOKING HAZARD--Small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs."; "CHOKING HAZARD--Small ball. Not for children under 8 yrs."; "CHOKING HAZARD--Marble. Not for children under 3 yrs."; "CHOKING HAZARD--Marble. Not for children under 8 yrs."; and "CHOKING HAZARD--Balloon. Children under 8 yrs. can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons." The section also requires the statements to be displayed with warning symbols and to meet prominence and conspicuousness requirements set out elsewhere in it; those are described rather than quoted here. The statements attach to toys and other articles intended for use by children, and nothing on these pages determines whether any product is one. law.cornell.edu
The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. Of the 245 containers in this group, capacity runs 5.5 to 500 mL with a median of 177, and only 16 are under 30 mL, 7 under 15 and 3 under 10. The smallest is a 5.5 mL white polypropylene lip balm tube, 2.375 inches tall and 0.617 inches across, which is the narrowest container on any shelf measured in this library. The next two are a pair of polypropylene hinged containers at 7.4 mL, 0.5 inches tall and 1.5 inches across, in black and clear. Then four polypropylene double wall round base jars at 14.8 mL and four glass boston rounds at 15 mL. The shelf then climbs away, with 47 containers at 237 mL and 44 at 118.
Written from 16 CFR 1500.19(b) and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Those statements attach to toys and other articles intended for use by children, and nothing here determines whether any product is one; the same marble sold to an adult collector sits in a different regime. The prominence, type size and symbol requirements elsewhere in the section are described rather than quoted, and the small parts test method is covered in the model parts property. No container prevents a choking hazard.
