I received an email this weekend and man has the price gone up.
Zen magnets Mandala set is now $527.68, bought several sets before they were banned for $280.
I think I will still have to buy them from China.
Just finished reading the appeals court decision. It vacated the rule that effectively banned the balls but did leave it to the CPSC to determine if the rule could be supported by better evidence - it’s cost/benefit analysis was badly flawed.
So it’s possible that they would find the necessary data and reissue the rule but it’s going to be some heavy lifting to do that and I’d hazard unlikely in the new regulatory climate that’s emerging from Washington.
