If I remember correctly, Avocet sold cranks and hubs made by Ofmega, and they all had QC problems to the point that they did not stay on the market for long.
I think it is equally likely that the additional volume they were doing for Avocet meant that the QC went down. Either way, it doesn't mean that 100% of their stuff would break.
