crushing, laceration, fracture, hematoma, bruise, or other injury to
fingers, toes, or other parts of the anatomy of young children. An
exemption from the ban is provided at 16 CFR 1500.86(a)(4) if the
products are designed to guard against or prevent those same injuries.

including importers, to meet the collection of information requirements

that are beginning to develop leg strength to aid in learning to walk.
Comments on the information collection requirements for these products
should be submitted through the process outlined in the Addresses
section above.
