Sources
Honoson guides quote national bodies rather than themselves. We opened and read each page below on the date next to it, and wrote the sentence on our page afterwards to fit what the source says. We reproduce every quotation word for word.

What we quote from them
A small part is any object that fits, without compressing and in any orientation, entirely into the small parts cylinder (see Figure 1 at 16 C.F.R. § 1501.4), which approximates the size of the fully expanded throat of a child under three years old.

None of this is professional safety advice. It is published guidance, quoted so you can follow it back to the body that wrote it.
Editorial practice
We write our own product names. Each one is the count, then the thing, then the colour or size where we state one, in that order, and short enough to read on a shelf label. It is a deliberate break from the hundred and fifty character strings this kind of product usually carries.
Every fact on a product page is something we state about our own product. Where we have not named a material we print none. Where we have not measured, the row is absent rather than estimated.
Our guides quote real sources, named and dated, and we keep the full list on the sources page. Where we have nothing to quote and nothing to measure, we say so.
