I would guess that the importer got fed up dealing with all the recall requests. Mine was the Kompact2, the one that passed US inspection. My assumption is that the newest ones would pass as well, but that no one has stepped up to bring them here. The Kompact and the Whisper are available online from the UK at
www.prendas.co.uk for pretty good prices. They are probably not CPSC rated. From their website:
thanks for the reply. i went with the blue/carbon kompact (not the 2) because i like the color design better. its my first time ordering from outside the US, hope everything goes ok.
