    The purpose of this part is to set forth the Commission's 
interpretative regulations for reporting of choking incidents required 
by the Child Safety Protection Act. The statute requires that each 
manufacturer, distributor, retailer, and importer of a marble, small 
ball, or latex balloon, or a toy or a game that contains a marble, small 
ball, latex balloon, or other small part, shall report to the Commission 
any information obtained by such manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or 
importer which reasonably supports the conclusion that an incident 
occurred in which a child (regardless of age) choked on such a marble, 
small ball, or latex balloon or on a marble, small ball, latex balloon, 
or other small part contained in such toy or game and, as a result of 
that incident the child died, suffered serious injury, ceased breathing 
for any length of time, or was treated by a medical professional.
