    § 490-b. Manufacturers' requirements to include product safety owner's
  cards.  1.  Manufacturers of durable juvenile products distributed, sold
  or made available in New York  state  shall  include  a  product  safety

  party  the  information  collected  by  the manufacturer for any purpose
  other than notification to the consumer concerned  in  the  event  of  a
  product  recall  or safety alert regarding the product concerned. Within
  the product  safety  owner's  card,  such  manufacturers  shall  request
  initial consumer information as prescribed by the United States consumer
  product  safety commission, pursuant to subsection (d) of section 104 of
  the United States Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008,  Pub.
  L.  No. 110-314 and the United States consumer product safety commission
  rules promulgated  in  accordance  with  such  act,  to  effectuate  the
  notification  required  by this article. The product safety owner's card
  shall include a statement indicating that the information shall  not  be
  used  for  any  purpose  other  than to facilitate a recall of or safety
  alert regarding that product.
    2. Such manufacturer shall retain for a period of  no  less  than  six
  years   any   initial   consumer   contact  information  obtained.  This
  information shall not be sold, posted, transferred or used for any other
  purpose other than to communicate  information  relating  to  a  recall,
  warning or defect directly associated with the product.
    3.  Nothing  in  this  section shall be deemed to compel a consumer to
  complete and return such product safety owner's card.
