They are given additional regulatory oversight by CDC BECAUSE THE ITEMS POSE A SEVERE THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY.
Because of the high threat that the items pose to the society's health, regulations have to be put in place to control their transportation and use in order to protect the safety and health of humans, animals and plants and plant products.
