CPSC Approves Ban of High-powered Magnet Sets
And that "one business in particular" Kaye referred to is Denver-based Zen Magnets, the only company currently selling high-powered magnet sets. Zen owner Shihan Qu disagrees with the ruling and plans to appeal based on "insufficient consideration of public comments, inaccurate cost-benefit analysis, and disingenuous injury analysis." Qu felt the decision should have waited until after its court date in December. All high-powered magnets makers except Zen have settled with the CPSC. That includes the largest—Buckyballs—whose founder, Craig Zucker, agreed to recall his products in May.
