{"abstract":"The Child Safety Protection Act of 1994 (CSPA) amended the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) by adding a new section 24, which imposes labeling requirements on balls, balloons, marbles, and certain toys and games intended for use by children three years of age and older. The amendment also bans certain balls intended for use by children younger than three years of age and requires that choking incidents involving small balls, balloons, marbles, and toys or games containing such articles or other small parts must be reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the Commission). The ban of small balls and the labeling provisions are enforced under the authority of the FHSA; the reporting requirements are enforced under the authority of the Consumer Product Safety Act. Although the requirements imposed by the amendments are generally self-executing, the Commission is proposing these regulations to incorporate the requirements of the CSPA into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and to interpret or clarify certain provisions of that legislation.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION","name":"Consumer Product Safety Commission","id":84,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/consumer-product-safety-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/84","parent_id":null,"slug":"consumer-product-safety-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1994/07/01/94-16082.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1500,"title":16}],"citation":null,"comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"1994-09-14","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Written comments in response to this proposed rule must be received by the Commission no later than September 14, 1994.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Federal Register: July 1, 1994"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"94-16082","effective_on":null,"end_page":0,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":null,"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/07/01/94-16082/proposed-rule-to-ban-small-balls-intended-for-children-younger-than-three-years-of-age-and-to","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/94-16082?publication_date=1994-07-01","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-1994-07-01/94-16082/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":1,"page_views":{"count":27,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 10:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":null,"presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1994-07-01","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/1994/07/01/94-16082.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":0,"subtype":null,"title":"Proposed Rule To Ban Small Balls Intended for Children Younger Than Three Years of Age and To Require Labeling of Certain Toys and Games","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Uncategorized Document","volume":59}
