Sec.  1511.2  Definitions.

    (a) A pacifier is an article consisting of a nipple that is intended 
for a young child to suck upon, but is not designed to facilitate a 
baby's obtaining fluid, and usually includes a guard or shield and a 
handle or ring.
    (b) Guard or shield means the structure located at the base of the 
nipple used to prevent the pacifier from being completely drawn into the 
child's mouth.
    (c) Handle or ring means the structure usually located adjacent to 
the guard or shield used for holding or grasping the pacifier. A hinged 
handle or ring is one that is free to pivot about an axis parallel to 
the plane of the guard or shield.
