                     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.  1145.16  Lighters that are intended for igniting smoking materials 
and 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 lighters intended for igniting smoking 
materials can be operated by young children, rather than 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 lighters that are 
intended for igniting smoking materials, where such risks exist 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 
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.
