From USA today...

By William M. Welch, USA TODAY
IRVINE, Calif. — A new federal law aimed at protecting children from
lead in toys has also forced a nationwide halt in sales of off-road
motorcycles and recreational vehicles built for young riders, killing
off a multimillion-dollar industry that was thriving despite the
recession.
Thousands of powersports dealers were told to halt sales of vehicles
designed for children 12 and younger because of new lead restrictions
in an act of Congress that took effect Feb. 10.

Freaking idiots are killing off whole industries and putting tens of
thousands of people out of jobs without really understanding the
consequences of the actions of the laws that they enact.
