What the receipt means

Compliance-stated The maker says this product complies. No test paperwork for this item is published.

Target's specifications for this listing state 'Industry or Government Certifications: Meets ASTM Standards' and list Features: PVC-Free, BPA-Free, Phthalate-Free. That is a retailer-stated certification, not a maker statement and not a per-item document: no Children's Product Certificate, lab report, or testing program is published for this item, and no lab is named. The features are material statements, not testing claims.

What's missing: a per-item certificate or lab report, and the standard number behind 'ASTM Standards' (not named in the specifications).

No ISBN is listed for this item; it carries a UPC and a toy-safety certification, with a teether, clip, and squeaker affixed — listed here as a toy, not a book. UPC note: 081787551503 comes from Amazon's listing for the counting book and is corroborated by a third-party listing for the same ASIN; another third-party listing shows a different UPC (885625043386) for a matching counting book, so confirm against packaging. Model 55150 is likewise corroborated by third-party listings for this ASIN, not by the maker or retailer specifications. Brand: Kids Preferred, maker of the World of Eric Carle line.
