for the slow implementation and restrictive interpretation of the new law. Despite this criticism, Nord has time and time again admonished industry and big business to fully consider consumer safety, for example declaring before the annual International Toy Fair in February 2008, "I will not tolerate this industry or any other not complying with our regulations. This problem must be fixed. We will be relentless with recalls and there is no reason why they can't certify that every toy has been designed for safety." She also realized the safety issue of youth ATVs and mini bikes not being available for purchase because of the lead content provisions of the CPSIA. If smaller versions of these bikes were not available due to excess levels of lead, children would be forced to ride on too big adult machines. Because the risk of children getting hurt on adult sized vehicles was greater than the risk of a child getting lead poisoning from using a youth vehicle, she and Commissioner Thomas Moore voted on a stay of enforcement for this group of vehicles, meaning although the vehicles are in violation of the lead limits put forth in the CPSIA, the CPSC would not come after businesses selling them. Nord has also stood her ground on the problems and unintended consequences of the CPSIA. She has called on Congress to address the "chaos and confusion" that has ensued from the new law and publicly criticized parts of the law itself citing ambiguous provisions, unrealistic deadlines, and lack of foresight to the impact on small business and industry. She has voted for delays in enforcement of certain provisions of the act to give the commission time to further interpret the law and industry to come into compliance. Nord's decisions on the CPSIA were also been backed by the only other commissioner, a Democrat, and by the commission's lawyers. The first 23 commission votes on the CPSIA were unanimous with a vote of 2-0. During this time, the CPSC was struggling to implement the CPSIA due to the lack of needed funding from Congress. Nord repeatedly requested more funds to implement the law quicker and more effectively; however the resources needed were not appropriated to the agency until March 2009, leaving the agency underfunded during the critical first six months after the CPSIA was signed into law. In response to a letter sent to the commissioners of
