JT, so you noticed the absence of the loop on the belts also. I quit using them a few years ago myself, not a lot of quality in the product, wonder how many more sets of belts could be made from the 8 or so inches removed from each set. As for the SFI label, it is yet to be decided if that effects the product or not, but is sure does make it look suspicious. Guess we'll find out something soon, then we can start shopping again. I know a lot of folks who have bought new this year, they sure won't be happy if they are turned down, is a catch 22, wait an see, or go ahead and spend. Hopefully, for the time being at least, they will find they are safe to use, just the deal with the tag, still doesn't make for a lot of comfort. Bob
