In another piece on this same report

it was noted that, among the small sample of printers tested, some units of particular model printers were high-emitters while other units of the same model emitted nothing. For me, this raise questions about variables such as the printer cartridges (how were they handled, were they damaged, were they 3rd-party refills or OEM) and printer maintenance.

Seems a bit early in the process to begin indicting all laser printers and to call for 'regulations' when the precise source of the problem has yet to be determined.
