From what i read it only affects those bikes that have lead in them. Now that covers almost all of them because they tend to have lead in the paint, frames and parts at this point. The reason is apparently its cheaper to make the frame and parts out of steel that contains a small amount of lead. to me its an over reaction but they will make the non-lead ones and move on.
one articles said that regular adult bikes are made with the same amount of lead in them but since these are banned because they are marketed to kids.
