      Hitachi ceased production of the device in 2013 due to concerns about having the company name associated with a sex toy. Vibratex convinced the company to continue manufacturing it under the name “Original Magic Wand,” omitting the Hitachi name. In 2014, the company used the name “Magic Wand Original.”
