Zen Magnets Presents CPSC with Petition to Cease Magnet Prohibition
Since government pressure ended Buckyballs and 11 other competitors' existences, Zen is one of the last magnetic-ball companies still standing as it refuses to comply with CPSC's order to launch a recall and discontinue sales, according to The Denver Post (Buckyballs also did not back down, selling all of its remaining inventory before it stopped selling the item in question, according to Inc.). Qu's refusal to quit resulted in a bump in sales as competitors shut down business. In Zen's Magnets frequently asked questions section, it answers if the company is still in business with "Yes, we certainly are. Still proudly fighting the CPSC, and we shall continue to our last drop of cash-flow blood."
