(a) No toy may be sold or offered for sale, or given away without compensation, which has any corners, rims, edges, points, or other surfaces capable of inflicting a puncture wound or laceration, unless such corners, rims, edges, points, or other surfaces have a minimum radius of curvature of .005 inches.
(b) Sheet metal parts less than .015 inch thick must have the edges rolled or otherwise protected if the edges are exposed (a) during assembly by the purchaser, (b) in use, or (c) as a result of reasonably foreseeable use or misuse.
(c) The accessible portions of metal toys of heavier gauge shall be deburred or deflashed or the edges suitably protected.
(d) Accessible portions of plastic toys shall be suitably deburred or deflashed or the edges suitably protected. Sections should be designed so as to avoid generation of sharp edges during reasonably foreseeable use or misuse.
(e) Wooden toys shall have accessible edges suitably finished.
(f) Toys which contain wires that are likely to become exposed in use or reasonably foreseeable use or misuse, shall be constructed so that the wire ends shall be turned back or otherwise protected.
(g) Rigid shafts or similar projections shall have a protective tip which will withstand a pulling force of ten pounds, unless the shaft or projection has a one- fourth inch. Threaded bolts shall be protected with caps if they are accessible.
(h) Folding mechanisms, brackets, arms and braces shall embody a safety stop to afford protection for the fingers against crushing in the event of sudden or unexpected movement.
(i) Hinges shall operate without producing an accessible gap of greater than one-eighth inch between the hinged portion and the body of the toy.
(j) Chains shall be designed so that fingers cannot be trapped between adjacent links if the chain is a load-bearing component.
(k) All mechanical mechanisms including, but not limited to electrically driven toys, shall be enclosed to prevent access to moving parts in toys intended for children under the age of six years.
(l) Any wheeled toy intended to bear the weight of a child, or that is likely to be used as an informal seat, shall be properly balanced so that it shall not tip on an incline of 15 degrees in any direction with a simulated child's weight applied.
(m) Toys that form enclosures shall have permanent holes in two or more sides and shall not be fitted with self-locking doors. All head-enclosed toys shall be made from rigid plastic and provided with a minimum of four ventilation holes.
