Shawn, I am not aware of any regulation governing this, but I believe such marking is recommended but voluntary. However, I recall some packaging instructions many years ago that specified a circumference of the opening of 14 inches, which would seem credible in relation to the size of a small childs head. Best regards

Do you know the size of a bag that would require such a sticker and the text required ?
