Here is also a letter sent to all the US Honda Dealers:
February 6, 2009 Dear Honda Dealer. This letter provides an update on the status of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (“CPSIA” or “Act”) lead content regulations as they relate to the sale of your new and used inventory of TRX90, CRF50F, CRF70F, and CRF80F models. Significant efforts continue, including your efforts and communications with legislators, to exempt small motorcycles and ATVs from these provisions of the Act. The second page of this bulletin explains some of the larger efforts that industry has undertaken. We believe that the exemptions from the CPSIA’s lead content regulation necessary to sell small motorcycles and ATVs ultimately will be granted and, at that time, you will be able to conduct business as usual. Unfortunately, it does not appear this will happen before February 10, 2009. Therefore, in order to comply with the Act, American Honda and each Honda dealer must take specific actions upon opening for business on February 10. American Honda will send you a list of actions at the end of the day on February 9. This list will require your immediate attention and action to: • Stop sale of all new and used CRF50F, CRF70F, CRF80F and TRX90X units. • Cease all marketing and advertising efforts for these models. • Remove all display and point of sale materials for these models. • Stop sale of some replacement parts for use on these models. In addition, Honda will provide assistance to offset flooring expenses of your inventory for 60 days while we work to ultimately secure exemption. American Honda would like to thank each of you who have taken action to contact your legislators to communicate the negative impact of the Act on your business and our customers without providing any corresponding benefit for children’s safety. Please continue to take action. It is critical that the wholly unnecessary, negative impacts of the CPSIA be made clear to legislators so they can take all necessary actions to resolve this matter. Again, American Honda is continuing efforts to obtain an exemption in order to support the decades of customers that have purchased and enjoy these models from your dealerships. With best regards, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Ray Blank Senior Vice-President |

Store my wife worked at sold tons of books at 25-50% off the week prior to the law taking effect. Monday beforehand they GAVE AWAY about $5K worth of material rather than throw it away. And it gets better CPSC has offered a ruling giving manufacturers a 1 year reprieve on testing, however the retailers (little guys) get stuck still having to prove lead contents.
This law stinks just as bad as the stimulus. Robert |

No, its not a repost, yours is definitely an interesting addition! I was just pointing out that the original law had been mentioned already. I think the idiots that came up with this stupid law hadnt the foresight to see where all the impacts would occur. It sure as hel is going to hit in alot of places.
