Edit: Now I have no problems with mine now...but if I knew that beforehand...I wouldn't have bought it.
I saw that too when I was down there but it wasn't terribly shocking news, considering the design. I'm sure just about anybody could make one at home without much trouble, considering the parts involved. The 1LE-style one though, that appears to be a bit different.

Small companies cobble together off the shelf parts to make new things all the time that the public could do themselves but that doesn't stop them from buying the things. Not sure where the fault is here.
