The weapon's maker, Taser International Inc., is not happy with the report and said the restrictions will force police to use more dangerous alternatives. [LINK]
Ahhh... Boo hoo.
And you spelled "less dangerous" wrong.
...the incidence of deaths proximate to their use suggests that they [tasers] are potentially more lethal than more traditional intermediate weapons, such as batons, oleoresin capsicum (pepper) spray, or rubber bullets. [Page 218]
That conclusion matches my impression of the news reports.
Just because the stun-gun salesman makes a claim, it doesn't mean it's true.
