Final Rule to Ban Small Balls Intended for Children Younger Than Three Years of Age and To Require Labeling of Certain Toys and Games

Streszczenie

The Child Safety Protection Act of 1994 (CSPA) amended the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) by adding a new section 24 which, inter alia, imposes labeling requirements on certain balls, balloons, marbles, and certain toys and games intended for use by children three years of age and older. The amendment also bans certain balls intended for use by children younger than three years of age. Although the requirements imposed by the amendments are generally self- executing, the Commission is publishing this regulation to incorporate the requirements of the CSPA into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and to interpret or clarify certain provisions of that legislation.
