Consumer Product Safety Commission: Concerns About Staff Memorandum Relating to All-Terrain Vehicles

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff memorandum containing comparative injury data for all-terrain vehicles (ATV), minibikes, and snowmobiles to determine: (1) the source and reliability of the vehicle usage data the memorandum presented; (2) whether its conclusions were justified; (3) why CPSC prepared it; and (4) whether its preparation was consistent with CPSC procedures.
