Kerr, Jr. Vice President Yazoo Manufacturing Company, Inc. P.O. Box 4449 3607 Livingston Road Jackson, Mississippi 39:216 Dear Mr. Kerr: . Your letter of June 24, 1981, to Commissioner Pittle has beenforwarded to this office for a response. In your letter, you ask for a determination that yotir products*do not fall within the scope of the Safety Standard for Walk- Behind Power Lawn Mowers, Title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part' 1205. A copy of the standard is enclosed for your information. Part of your question can be readily answered. Since the performance requirements of the standard apply only to rotary walk-behind power lawn mowers, the tillers, edger- trimmers, trailers, independent cutting heads, flail mowers, and riding mowers or tractors shown in your literature would not be subject to the standard. In addition, the standard does not apply to walk-behind power mowers that have all of the following characteristics: (1) a cutting width of 30 inches or greater, (2) a weight of 200 lbs. or more, and (3) an engine of 8 or more horsepower (5 1205.1(c)(l)). Therefore, if the "36" commercial Yazoo" weighs at least 200 lbs., it too would be outside the scope of the standard.. As to the other big wheel mowers, the only remaining basis for determining that these are not subject to the standard would be if the available information showed that these products are not "consumer products" (3 1205,1(b)(l)). "Consumer product" is defined in section 3(a)(l) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 3 2052(2)(l), which states: Mr. J. A. Kerr, Jr. Page -29 of the standard.. As to the other big wheel mowers, the only remaining basis for determining that these are not subject to the standard would be if the available information showed that these products are not "consumer products" (3 1205,1(b)(l)). "Consumer product" is defined in section 3(a)(l) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 3 2052(2)(l), which states: Mr. J. A. Kerr, Jr. Page -29 (1) The term "consumer product" means any article, or component part thereof, produced or distributed (i) for sale to a consumer for use in or around a permanent or temporary household or residence, a school, in recreation, or otherwise, or (ii) for the personal use, consumption or enjoyment of a consumer in or around a permanent or temporary household or residence, a school, in recreation, or otherwise; but such term does not include: (A) any article which is not customarily produced or distributed for sale to, or use or consumption by, or enjoyment of, a consumer... Product manufacturers have the initial responsibility for evaluating the use and distribution patterns for their products and determining if their products are subject to the Consumer Product Safety Act. When sufficient informa- tion is available, our office can issue an advisory opinion concerning whether a product is covered by the act. In the case of the big wheel mowers, however, there is insufficient information to make such a determination since the available facts do not permit any conclusion concerning the number of these mowers that may be used by consumers. If you wish to submit additional information, the following information, if available, would be helpful: 1. Who are the distributors of each model and what types or chains of dealers do they supply? Do the dealers carry other products likely to be sold to consumers? 2. How many mowers of each model are sold to each distributor? 3. What is the factual basis for your conclusion that the vast majority of your products have been used in commercial application? 4 formation, if available, would be helpful: 1. Who are the distributors of each model and what types or chains of dealers do they supply? Do the dealers carry other products likely to be sold to consumers? 2. How many mowers of each model are sold to each distributor? 3. What is the factual basis for your conclusion that the vast majority of your products have been used in commercial application? 4. Do you, or the distributors or dealers, promote your products in ways that will be likely to be seen by consumers? s--w “I__-. _..-- Mr. J. A.

The Commission is prohibited from disclosing such information to parties outside the Commission in accordance with 15 U.S.C. § 2055(a)(2). If confidentiality is claimed for information submitted, the Commission will keep the submitted material in a restricted file.

Our product line is 1commerical and we believe the intent of congress was to exclude commerical and focus on consumer products through the act. 2. While our firm utilizes approximate1ywU.S.A. Distributors who sell to approximateiy- Dealers. It has been our experience since 1945, that the vast majority of our- plus products manu- factured since that date have been used in commerical application 1.

Distributors who sell to approximateiy- Dealers. It has been our experience since 1945, that the vast majority of our- plus products manu- factured since that date have been used in commerical application. The criteria used in previous discussions centered around an Bccornmerical/consumer. AILl our knowledge/experience would indicate . all present Yazoo products are comforfabery within these limits. . 3. Our prices generally are not in line with most homeowner expectations. 4. Our design is not consumer oriented nor intended to be. 5. Our factory in order to service our products has established warehouse/service points in airmingham, Alabama, Nobile, Alabama, Jackson. Mississippi, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Houston, Texas, Memphis, Tennessee, and Orlando, Florida. This is normal in industrial Distribution more so than consumer coverage. 6.
