Consumer Federation of America Submits Comment Letter Regarding Standard for All-Terrain Vehicles

Consumer Federation of America submitted a comment letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission in connection to the Standard for All-Terrain Vehicles.  CFA highlighted the high number of fatalities and serious injuries associated with ATVs.  CFA recommended more safety testing of ATV fuel systems that mirrors real world scenarios, such as rollovers and crash events.  CFA also recommended that paper user manuals must be the default, and user manuals that are only available by electronic means do not meet consumer safety needs.
