U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff first began analyzing data on all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in the early 1980s as a means to provide statistics on the numbers of deaths and injuries associated with three-wheel ATVs. In April of 1988, CPSC entered into consent decrees with five ATV distributors in which they agreed, among other things, to halt production of three-wheelers, offer safety training to all new ATV owners, and recommend adult sized ATVs only for those aged 16 and older. Those decrees expired in April of 1988. Following their expiration, the five distributors and two others have agreed to continue most of the elements of the consent decrees through voluntary action plans. In addition, on June 28, 2006, the Commission voted to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on all-terrain vehicles that would make mandatory many of the provisions in the voluntary action plans. The Commission also proposed to formally ban the manufacture and distribution of three-wheel ATVs. Some older three-wheels survive in use by consumers, but nearly all vehicles on the market today are four-wheelers. This report provides an update of CPSC data on ATV deaths and injuries. This update includes death reports available as of December 31, 2005, and data on injuries occurring up to and including December 31, 2005. / Supplementary Notes: See also report for 2004, PB2008-106192 and 2006, PB2008-106194. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
