Section 1 is the sole operative section of the bill. It imposes a categorical ban on the manufacture, import, sale, conveyance, or distribution in commerce of any children's toy or child care article that incorporates an AI chatbot as part of the product. The prohibition applies to any person and covers the full commercial chain — from manufacturer through importer to retailer. The ban takes effect 180 days after enactment, providing a transition window for existing products.
Enforcement is delegated to the Consumer Product Safety Commission by treating violations as violations of section 19 of the Consumer Product Safety Act. This is a product-safety prohibition rather than an AI-conduct regulation: the bill does not attempt to regulate how chatbots behave but instead prohibits their incorporation into a defined class of physical consumer products entirely. The definitions section cross-references existing federal law for both the AI terms and the product-category terms, anchoring the bill's scope to well-established statutory frameworks.
