This article is concerned with the American Consumer Safety Act. Is there anyone who could create an article for the Consumer Safety Act 1978 passed by UK Parliament? I haven't the knowledge on the subject, I'm afraid. Rvsmortimer 22:07, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanically hazardous bicycles for children (12 years age or younger)

In the 2nd paragraph, the article states that "Federal regulations associated with the act [CPSA] are at Title 16 CFR parts 1101 through 1406. These regulations... include... safety standards for such products as bicycles and..." so on. The part on "Bicycles" is under 16 CFR 1512. So, bicycles are actually under sub-chapter "C" of the regulation, regarding "Federal Hazardous Substances Act" of 1960 as amended by the "Child Protection Act" of 1966. However, the CPSA does cover "bicycle helmets" or headgear (1203; all sizes), but for actual bicycles, only 3rd-party conformity assessments are covered (1112.15; not the safety standards/criteria).

The FHSA/CPA regulation may place bicycles in the category of toys, (or other articles designed or intended primarily for use by children (12 years age or younger)), that present a mechanical hazard; (1500.3(a)(4)(I)(D)). Bicycles fall in the category of "recreational equipment, such as roller blades, skateboards, bicycles, camping gear, and fitness equipment" and " are considered general use products unless they are sized to fit children 12 years of age or younger and/or are decorated with childish features by the manufacturer" (1200.2).

So it may be easier to change "bicycles" to read "bicycle helmets" - or consider including the entire chapter (II) of 16 CFR, parts 1101 through 1750, including bicycles as well as refrigerator doors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 (talk) 20:30, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
