    Section 1500.18(a)(9) of this chapter classifies as a banned 
hazardous substance any toy or other article intended for use by 
children under 3 years of age that presents a choking, aspiration, or 
ingestion hazard because of small parts. This part 1501 describes 
certain articles that are subject to Sec.  1500.18(a)(9); lists certain 
articles that are specifically exempted; and provides a test method for 
determining whether an article is hazardous to children under 3 because 
it, or one of its components that can be detached or broken off during 
normal or reasonable foreseeable use, is too small.
