Thanks. I knew a lot had been recalled but AFAICR the crabtree
starbreakers were one of the few that weren't. I can understand that
they redesigned the "bad" ones to fix them but if these weren't bad, I
was suspicious why they had been changed. Perhaps it was just more
economical to do them all in one go? I was going to say perhaps they
are all the same inside with different shaped outsides but if that
were the case, the starbreakers would have been recalled too. Perhaps
I'm just too paranoid for my own good
