CEO of Buckyballs: Save Our Balls
RUSH: We have on the phone the CEO of Buckyballs, a guy from New York named Craig Zucker. Mr. Zucker, welcome to the program. Great to have you here.BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
ZUCKER: Thanks a lot, Rush.
RUSH: You have had your product banned?
ZUCKER: The Consumer Product Safety Commission has begun a process to ban our product and magnets in general. It has not been banned yet.
RUSH: Okay, not yet. Not yet.
ZUCKER: Not yet.
RUSH: But you're on the way. What's the problem they've got, first with magnets, and then we'll get to yours. What's their problem with magnets?
ZUCKER: I guess over the past couple years they've seen a couple of children who have gotten their hands on an adult product, they've ingested the product. Twelve children over the past three years have ingested our product out of two-and-a-half million units sold, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission believes that now all magnets should be taken off the market. They should be banned and recalled due to these 12 incidents.
RUSH: Even refrigerator magnets that remind people to shut the door and stuff like that?
ZUCKER: Not those kind. The products that they're looking at are more of the products like Buckyballs and Buckycubes.
RUSH: How big is a Buckyball?
ZUCKER: They're about five millimeters. Each one's about the size of a BB and they come in packs of, you know, 125 or 216.
RUSH: Right.
ZUCKER: They're marketed and sold as adult stress relievers, desk toys, things to build, create structures out of, and have been sold to adults for nearly three years now. They've become probably one of the best-selling adult gift product in the specialty gift industry the past three years.
RUSH: And because of a minuscule percentage of children misusing the product, now they want to ban whole thing?
