| The Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008,
intending to monitor and limit lead content
in accessible parts and components in children’s
products, took effect Feb. 10, 2009.
As written, this new law includes thousands
of products that may never expose children
to harmful amounts of lead. Unfortunately,
some youth model off-road motorcycles
and all-terrain vehicles currently fall
into this category. The Kawasaki KFX®50
is one of those products.
Industry associations are working to
obtain clarification of the Act or its
implementing regulations which would permit
us to resume selling these youth models.
For now, Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
regrets that our dealers cannot sell the
affected products starting February 10,
2009.
Comments regarding this regulation should
be addressed to your congressional representatives
in Washington, D.C. To view the latest
