Because of the confusion - the CPSC has delayed the implementation of the rule for a year to 2010.

It's very unclear. The rules flat out state you cannot sell products without the certification. The interpretation by Honda's lawyers means every single part must be tested and labeled as being lead free. This even applies to nuts, bolts, cables, levers, plastic and even so far as to internal parts that the average consumer has no access to.

Maybe Honda is being too conservative but would you trust the government to not go after you and hit you with the biggest fines they could for additional revenue?
