The Quantum Products website does have contact info on the front page:

The power strips do change in appearance based on whatever Power
Sentry is making these days.

I wouldn't trust the Quantum Power conditioners for surge protection
(but I wouldn't trust Power Sentry either). These are cheapo surge
protectors -- the Brick Wall or the Furman are much more robust.

And the Quantum power strips don't really need to have anything plugged
into them -- they can just be plugged into the wall, all by themselves,
as they affect the electricity in the whole room/house, not just whatever
is plugged into them. Of course, the effect is stronger if you are
running a lot of wattage/current through them.
