                     TITLE 16--COMMERCIAL PRACTICES
 
             CHAPTER II--CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
 
PART 1145--REGULATION OF PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO OTHER ACTS UNDER THE 
CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1145.17  Multi-purpose lighters that can be operated by children; 
risks of death or injury.

    (a) The Commission finds that it is in the public interest to 
regulate under the Consumer Product Safety Act any risks of injury 
associated with the fact that multi-purpose lighters can be operated by 
young children, rather than to regulate such risks under the Federal 
Hazardous Substances Act or the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970.
    (b) Therefore, if the Commission finds regulation to be necessary, 
risks of death or injury that are associated with multi-purpose lighters 
because the lighters can be operated by young children shall be 
regulated under one or more provisions of the Consumer Product Safety 
Act. Other risks that are associated with such lighters, and that are 
based solely on the fact that the lighters contain a hazardous 
substance, shall continue to be regulated under the Federal Hazardous 
Substances Act.
