Hello.
As you people have likely noticed there is a lot of commotion regarding our company and its laser projectors. They seem to have become a cheap and the chief source of blue laser diodes. These diodes are very powerful, and although we understand your love for lasers, we do not want our company associated with such dangerous devices as 1 watt laser pointers. Therefore I ask that all of you stop referring to these diodes as "casio diodes," and to stop using terms such as ca$io and c@sio.
When we designed and then released the XJ series of projectors we never expected them to be used in this manner. Although the massive sale of these projectors has been quite profitable for our company, we cannot risk lawsuits filed by those idiotic persons who harm themselves or others with "casio lasers." To combat the problem we have made the diodes harder to extract with odd-head screws and thread locker; to stop average joe from disassembling the projectors. It is the most we can do without changing the manufacturing process, but it seems that it is not enough.
All of this has left us with few choices, and one is to come to this forum and ask the people here stop selling "casio lasers" to incompetent persons. We are not upset that you are disassembling the projectors for personal use of the diodes, since anyone intelligent enough to build their own laser likely knows how to use it responsibly. However there many imbeciles out there who will buy a laser online and point it at an airplane or a car for a quick laugh. Although there is nothing we can do to stop them directly, we can ask that you people use these lasers responsibly and not tarnish our company name. Sell these homemade lasers to only people who you trust to do the right thing, and do not market them as "casio lasers".
All the best,
Mary - Casio PR.
