For what it's worth, not related to workplace safety, but
related to product safety, see also 16 CFR. Section 1500 covers a
broad ground, section 1505 covers electrical toys, section 1512
covers bicycles. If you have any wonder whether we are subjects in
a nanny state, see the "banned list" at section 1500.18.
