To authorize the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a consumer

SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) In May 2005, a 3 year old boy in Elkhart, 
Indiana, had to be rescued by firefighters after he 
was trapped in a crane vending machine. The boy
was rescued after firefighters removed the back of 
the machine. 
(2) In June 2000, a 4 year old boy in O’Fallon, 
Missouri, had to be rescued after getting trapped in-
side a crane vending machine. The child crawled into 
the machine through the trap door through which 
toys are dispensed. The child was freed from the 
machine only after rescue workers pried the top of 
the machine off. 
(3) In June 2000, another case of a child being 
trapped inside the same trap door of a crane vend-
ing machine occurred in Texas. 
(4) Since 1990, the Consumer Product Safety 
Commission has received at least 43 reported inci-
dents of individuals’ use of vending machines which 
has resulted in personal injury primarily to the indi-
viduals’ arms and hands. 
(5) At least 25 of the reported injuries were 
suffered by minors, 15 of which were by children 
under the age of 10. 
(6) It is clear that there are defects in the de-
sign of the vending machines which have led to the 
reported injuries.
SEC. 3. VENDING MACHINE RULE. 
Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Consumer Product Safety Commission 
shall issue a consumer product safety standard under sec-
tion 7 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 
2056), for the manufacture and installation of vending 
machines, particularly those using a lever or crane appa-
ratus to dispense a product. Such standard may include 
a requirement for warning labels or signs relating to the 
use of such machines to prevent injuries to individuals, 
including children.
