Quote: Rick again i could be dead wrong here but it's not necessarily true that your gear is unsafe. it's plausible i would think to have a item certified by design, duplicate the item and put the counterfeit tag on it rather than paying sfi for their tags. i would bet that sfi probably charges a premium for the tags given the profit potential the items have.
to add another twist to it you could have a item certified THEN begin making/selling substandard products but paying sfi for the legit tags.
I agree to a certain extent....you might feel safe strapping yourself in wearing a suspect product....but I sure wouldn't
and why should sfi be getting bashed period...nobody is reinventing the wheel here...it's been done this way for decades
If simpson is putting bogus sfi tags on his product....then shame on him and him only
