The former head of the CPSC appears to be the one behind all the negativity regarding the purple twisters. Makes me wonder if he owns stock in the company that makes the high dollar CopAlum splice.
The CPSC is not responsible for approving anything electrical, only your local AHJ can do that.
If the purple twister is so bad, how come the CPSC hasn't issued a recall notice by now?
Purple twisters are UL listed, who do you trust, an independant 3rd party with many years of experiance in the industry or the aforementioned politically motivated agency?
IMO, the CPSC should stick to checking for lead in all those Chinese toys we're importing.
