Raindance Imperial 600 Air Showerhead

A link lead to a site on  money.MSN for items which are illegal to sell in the United States.  Besides Cuban cigars I learned that showerheads in America have been legally constrained from delivering more than 2.5 gallons of water per minute since 1992.

I haven't investigated whether that means that shower heads which exceed that limit can't be manufactured, imported, sold, installed, or used. There's a big difference especially because the Hansgrohe Raindance Imperial 600 Air Showerhead (the "28403001" to the cognoscenti) currently offered for $3,383.34 at homeclick.com, (in stock and "will ship in 24 to 48 hours").

At that price someone might want to buy the 28403001 as outre sculpture.
I don't remember this generating howls of protest against government regulation, but what with the New Hampshire primary just days away I look forward to this being part of a response to a question about specific regulations preventing America from assume it's rightful position in the world.
