This is a petition that is against the latest CPSIA law. Not sure if many of you know about this but they are going to outlaw will include: dirt bikes, electric trial bikes, ATV's, clothing, helmets or generaly any thing made for kids under 12 years of age due to lead poisoning or the potintial.
I had learned about this from another site so I copied and pasted the link to the petition on here. Please sign if you are against this bill.

uggggg. Difficult  call on this one. Although, the industry will just stop marketing them to the age group in question (which at that age, they cant but their parents can, afford them). I havent read into the bill, but the link only mentions the actual ATV's and bikes. Having grown up in a lead based world, I dont see it being a huge issue any more (*head starts to twitch violently to the right*), but we still have to be cautious when it comes to standard practice. I dont see it actually passing (as said, they will just change how they market them), so will have to think about signing it.
