Excerpt:
According to a letter sent to Honda dealers dated January 23, 2009,
which you can read below, a Congressional Act passed in response to
the sale of unsafe, lead-tainted toys last year, could result in a ban
on sale of certain Honda motorcycles and ATVs sized for youngsters
after February 10, 2009. The language of the Congressional Act is
broad enough to encompass motorcycles containing lead in "substrate
material" over 600ppm, which would impact certain motorcycles and ATVs
even though paint on those models contains lead within acceptable
limits. The affected Honda motorcycles and ATVs are the TRX 90, CRF
50F, CRF 70F and CRF 80F, but the ban would seemingly encompass any
motorcycle or ATV "designed or intended primarily for children 12
years of age or younger." Honda hopes to convince Congress to exempt
alloyed parts for small motorcycles and ATVs from the terms of the
Congressional Act, but time is running out.
