I was looking on my computer and came across this bookmark. Makes it easy to know which brands to avoid. I figured we could use a reminder. https://www.thehoffmangroup.com/
I’m pretty sure that this is the company that has many different company names to sell their products, there has been many discussions on the main forum about them.
I try to check where the products are not only made but also ***embled, machined, etc and the parent company. Companies are bought out and reorganized which we knew as reputable and having a great product but are now cheapened and prone to failure… a sad state of affairs.
