If you read the article, you will find the answer to your gripe. They are not using a laser but (I think) a LED and harmless visible light.

To quote - "In contrast, plastic fibers use harmless green or red light that is easily visible to the eye."
I'm not sure why they make that distinction. There are red LED's used in short reach multimode fiber installations as well, over glass fiber optics.
