Product description
The submitted sample, Item #21882, Play N Pretty Butterfly Cosmetic Compact, is a toy dress-up set consisting of 1 blue and white beaded elastic bracelet, 1 purple and white beaded elastic bracelet, and three plastic pink butterfly-shaped containers decorated with glitter. Each butterfly measures approximately 1/8 inch in height and 6 inches across (from wing-to-wing) with heart-shaped, moon-shaped, and flower-shaped plastic depressions. These depressions are filled with blush, lip gloss and eye shadow of various shades, including pink, orange, red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. Also included are two foam tipped applicators. All of the articles are packaged together for retail sale in a pink, purple green, and orange cardboard box with a display window handle. The ostentatious design of the articles, the manner in which they are put up for retail sale, their packaging and marketing, and their channel of trade clearly indicates that the articles are not age-appropriate for everyday use. Instead the articles are for use together by a child 6 years of age and older during imitative role-play activity whereby a child pretends to dress-up like a grown-up.
