What required testing has the Kiwi Recliner undergone?   

The Kiwi Recliner has undergone extensive third-party, independent testing to ensure compliance with both mandatory and voluntary safety standards for children’s products and household furnishings.  Babyletto is committed to ensuring the compliance and safety of its products.    

 

• Chemical Safety  

  • The recliner complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008, including rules for: lead levels in paint, coatings, and internal materials and restrictions on phthalates in children’s products  

  • It also meets the ASTM F963-23 Toy Safety Standard, which sets strict limits on: lead in surface finishes and materials, heavy metal content and phthalates.  

• Flammability  

  • The chair meets the CPSC’s upholstered furniture flammability requirement, which includes the California Technical Bulletin 117-2023 standards for smolder resistance in upholstered furniture. This helps to reduce the risk of fire of foam and filling materials without the use of fire retardant chemicals.    

• Electrical and Structural Safety  

  • The Kiwi Recliner complies with UL 962, a voluntary but stringent safety standard for household and commercial furnishings with integrated electrical components. UL 962 is widely recognized as the premier North American standard. This certification ensures the product has passed rigorous testing related to electrical safety, fire risk, and structural integrity.   

  • All Babyletto seating meets ANSI/BIFMA X5.4-2020 (Public and lounge seating), section 19 swivel test-cycling for stability.
