At the beginning of 2009 the U.S. Product Safety Commission started the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). The act was created as ban to toys and other children products.
Before the CPSIA was put into effect, the motorcycle industry did not think this rule applied to them and companies also were not warned that the ban could target certain products made by top ATV companies.
After the CPSIA was put into action top companies like American Honda Co, Inc. American Suzuki Motor Corporation, and Yamaha Motor Corporation USA. Had to tell all U.S. dealerships to remove their motorcycle inventory targeted to children 12 years and younger and put in warehouse.
The ATV companies have ask for the bill to be lifted for them while they work out some agreement, but the ban still remains.
If you catch a kid trying to digest a shiny new motorcycle, odds are that kid has been eating lead and/or other various vehicles for long time.
