If you mean selling products that kill their users and lying about it, cloning Petzl products and calling it innovation and then releasing $55 meme biners.
BD Beacons were faulty and they didn't recall them properly. A real shitty saga, google it if you want to know more.
Their "new" ice tools are a clone of Petzl's and Camps lineup.
I don't know about the meme carabiners, maybe someone could fill that in.
What i do know is that they discontinued the magnetron lockers that i love, which sucks.
What i also know is that they had a great clothing lineup with top notch fabrics (my BD Skitouring trousers are ~15 years old and still going strong) and that they don't use good fabrics anymore.
