Yes, those were total crap and sold under various brand names. There was an article spreading around the Internet back then about how A New Zealand government agency would not allow those columns to be imported. They explained the problems in detail, and they are scary! No such issues with OEM, Ididit, Flaming River, and a few other reputable brands.
I just found this. Check out pages 3-7. Life threatening stuff, but good enough for some vendors!
