    In this part 1305 the Consumer Product Safety Commission declares 
that artificial emberizing materials (ash and embers) containing 
respirable free-form asbestos generally packaged in an emberizing kit 
for use in fireplaces, and designed for use in such a manner that the 
asbestos fibers can become airborne under reasonably foreseeable 
conditions of use are banned hazardous products under sections 8 and 9 
of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2057 and 2058). 
This ban applies to artificial emberizing materials available in 
separate kits or with artificial fireplace logs for use in fireplaces 
and sprinkled or coated by consumers on the artificial logs to simulate 
live embers and ashes and give a glowing appearance when subjected to 
high temperatures. Bags of material containing asbestos that are sold 
separately to be sprinkled on and under artificial logs to simulate 
burning and glowing ashes also come within the scope of this ban.
