McClatchy reported that as an “unanticipated consequence” of the recent lead law, “dirt bikes and other recreational vehicles tailored for kids” have been pulled from the floors of dealers because they may be in violation. Rep. Michael Burgess, D-Texas, “wrote a letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission urging an exemption for such vehicles” that, “I don’t think anyone anticipated this … that we were putting products that would never create a hazard out of the hands of people.”
