1. DEFINITIONS (BINDING LEGAL CLARITY)

For the purposes of this document, all terms are defined in alignment with U.S. federal and state regulatory requirements, including the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) rules:

• Product/Products: All handmade decorative items manufactured, sold, or distributed by TwistCrafts, which are crafted from high-quality chenille stems (also known as pipe cleaners) as the core base material, including but not limited to: handmade pipe cleaner accessories, twisted wire flower bouquets, potted plant decorative ornaments, animal-shaped decorative figurines, frame floral wall decor, flower lanterns, ice cream series decorative cones, bento box bouquets, bridal wedding bouquets, and any other handcrafted decorative products made with chenille pipe cleaner core materials, along with all associated decorative components (including but not limited to beads, sequins, charms, ribbons, artificial floral elements, and metal findings).
• Child/Children: Any individual 12 years of age or younger, consistent with the legal definition of a "children's product" under CPSIA and CPSC regulations.
• Purchaser/User/You: Any individual or entity that purchases, receives, uses, distributes, gifts, or resells any of the Products.
• Adult User: Any individual over the age of 12 (13 years of age and older), including teens and adults with full legal capacity to assume risk and liability.

2. EXPLICIT AGE SUITABILITY & INTENDED USE DECLARATION

2.1 All TwistCrafts Products are handmade decorative items for adult use only. THEY ARE NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE MARKETED, DESIGNED, OR TESTED AS TOYS OR CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS, in full compliance with U.S. regulatory requirements.

2.2 The sole intended users of all Products are Adult Users over the age of 12 (13 years of age and older). None of the Products are designed, manufactured, tested, or certified for use by any Child 12 years of age or younger.

2.3 The following acts are STRICTLY PROHIBITED:

• Sale, gifting, distribution, or provision of any of the Products to any Child 12 years of age or younger;
• Access, handling, wearing, manipulation, or contact with any of the Products by any Child 12 years of age or younger;
• Marketing, advertising, or representing any of the Products as suitable for Children, or as toys, in any format.

3. MANDATORY AGE RESTRICTION RATIONALE & HAZARD DISCLOSURE

This age restriction is not a voluntary guideline, but a non-negotiable safety requirement based on the inherent hazards of all Products, which pose an unreasonable risk of severe harm to Children (who lack the risk awareness, impulse control, and self-protection capabilities of Adult Users). All hazards are fully disclosed in alignment with the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA), CPSIA, and CPSC rules:

3.1 CHOKING, ASPIRATION & INGESTION HAZARD

All Products contain small decorative components that may detach under tearing, biting, or excessive force, including but not limited to beads, sequins, charms, decorative accents on floral/animal figurines, and ribbon fasteners. These components qualify as "small parts" under CPSC regulations, which carry a well-documented, life-threatening risk of choking, aspiration, or ingestion for Children. Such incidents can cause permanent internal injury, digestive tract obstruction, suffocation, or death.

3.2 SHARP EDGE & PUNCTURE HAZARD

The core base material of all Products is chenille pipe cleaners with an internal metal wire core, hand-bent to form the Product's shape (including floral petals, animal figurine structures, decorative frames, and bouquet stems). Repeated bending, flexing, or mishandling can cause metal fatigue, breakage, and the formation of sharp, jagged edges or puncture points. These hazards can cause severe lacerations, puncture wounds, or permanent injury to sensitive areas (including eyes, mouth, skin, and internal organs), particularly for Children who cannot safely handle the Products.

3.3 STRANGULATION & ENTRAPMENT HAZARD

All Products have a flexible, bendable wire structure, which may be wrapped around body parts by Children, including the neck, fingers, wrists, or limbs. This action can cause restricted blood flow, soft tissue damage, nerve injury, tissue necrosis, or fatal strangulation. Adult Users possess the risk awareness to avoid this hazardous misuse, while Children do not.

3.4 CHEMICAL EXPOSURE HAZARD

The raw materials of all Products fully comply with all applicable U.S. safety standards for adult decorative accessories. However, U.S. federal law imposes far more stringent, mandatory limits on heavy metals, phthalates, and other harmful chemicals for products intended for Children 12 years of age or younger (especially for products that may be mouthed or chewed). None of the Products have been designed, tested, or certified to meet these stricter children's product chemical limits, as they are exclusively intended for Adult Users. Mouthing, chewing, or prolonged unsupervised contact with the Products by Children can result in harmful chemical exposure.

3.5 NON-COMPLIANCE WITH CHILDREN'S PRODUCT MANDATORY STANDARDS

All TwistCrafts Products are handmade adult decorative items, not industrially mass-produced children's toys. None of the Products have been designed, manufactured, tested, or certified to comply with U.S. mandatory children's product safety standards, including but not limited to ASTM F963 (Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety), CPSIA, FHSA, and all relevant CPSC regulations. The Products do not meet the mandatory safety requirements for use by Children, and are strictly prohibited from being used as children's products or toys.
