ATV-related injuries on decline

ATV.com is reporting the number of ATV-related injuries and deaths are on the decline, according to the latest injury report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. According to the report, ATV-related injuries decreased by 10 percent from 2007 to 2008.

These stats should further the argument that the CPSIA, better known as the "lead ban," instituted by the commission should be amended or revoked altogether. Here's the latest on the lead ban from the Motorcycle Industry Council. We've seen this before, it happened with the "Consent Decree" in the 1980s when the CPSC forced manufacturers to stop selling three-wheelers and, ultimately, performance sport quads until the decree expired early in the last decade.
