product. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Yo-Yo Waterballs (also known as water yo- 
yos) are inexpensive, easily accessible toys that pose 
a strangulation hazard and threaten the health of 
children.
(2) Yo-Yo Waterballs are banned in France, the 
United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Australia, Brazil, 
and Canada, and Germany and New Zealand have 
issued warnings concerning Yo-Yo Waterballs. 
(3) The New York State Consumer Protection 
Board has issued 2 warnings calling Yo-Yo 
Waterballs serious hazards to kids, and the Massa-
chusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business 
Regulation calls Yo-Yo Waterballs a great risk to 
children. 
(4) Consumer Reports magazine rated Yo-Yo 
Waterballs as ‘‘not acceptable’’ in the December 
2003 issue. 
(5) World Against Toys Causing Harm labeled 
Yo-Yo Waterballs as one of the 10 Worst Toys of 
2003. 
(6) On July 2, 2003, a petition from New 
York’s Empire State Consumer Association reported 
that the fluid inside the balls is toxic and flammable. 
(7) The United States Consumer Product Safe-
ty Commission has reported that Yo-Yo Waterballs 
pose a potential risk of strangulation. 
(8) According to the Consumer Product Safety 
Commission, as of September 29, 2004, Yo-Yo 
Waterballs were responsible for 394 reported health
incidents, 281 of which were coded as causing ‘‘suf-
focation or strangulation’’. 
(9) Of those 193 incidents, 52 resulted in seri-
ous breathing difficulties that rendered the child un-
conscious and lifeless after suffering from a lack of 
oxygen or broken blood vessels. 
(10) The Consumer Product Safety Commission 
reported that 24 children reported allergic reactions 
to the fluid and it caused some to have trouble 
breathing. 
(11) In spite of evidence concerning the danger 
to children caused by Yo-Yo Waterballs, the Con-
sumer Product Safety Commission has refused re-
peated attempts towards banning these dangerous 
toys. 
SEC. 2. DECLARATION OF YO-YO WATERBALL TOY A 
BANNED HAZARDOUS PRODUCT. 
Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Consumer Product Safety Commission 
shall promulgate a rule pursuant to section 9 of the Con-
sumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058) declaring the 
Yo-Yo Waterball toy a banned hazardous product under 
such Act.
SEC. 3. DEFINITION. 
For purposes of this Act, the term ‘‘Yo-Yo Waterball 
toy’’ includes the Yo-Yo Waterball, and any similar water 
yo-yo that contains a rubber ball filled with liquid and at-
tached to a rubber cord.
