Are you sure about that? I looked at this year's rules, and could not find any requirement that a CIM or a fisher price require 40 amp breakers. Best I could tell, any motor can use any size circuit breaker, as long as the wire was sized properly.
For example, a fisher price motor can draw more then 40 amps at stall, but it will also burn itself up at stall. It may be wise to use a smaller breaker.
