The settlement says that the recall fund is $375,000. I would imagine that this is far less than the cost of litigation. In that respect it IS a victory for Zucker, however the fact remains that the CPSC threw its weight around and put him out of business.

Product recalled, off the market, illegal to sell, and a recall paid for by a former executive – seems like the CPSC got exactly what it wanted. I’m pretty sure that there is nothing else that a judge could have even ordered even if it had been pursued all the way to the end. Things like penalties and fines weren’t on the table to begin with.

If the police in Philadelphia obtained buckyballs illegally during a bodega search, do they have to return them?

Disappointed he didn’t fight them all the way on this, but I guess I can’t blame them. When the government brings the mighty hammer down, citizens pretty much have no choice but to cower. What a democracy we’ve allowed this country to turn into.

Anyone actually going to send them back? They can take my buckyballs from my cold dead hands.
