11) Old news: Bride Japan initially manufactured their seats in Taiwan. As usual, the Taiwanese factory started selling them through the back door of the factory. Bride Japan got pissed off and subsequently, the American owned Taiwanese company TEES quickly registered the trademark for Bride under their own company. Bride Japan then moved its operations back to Japan. However, 'Bride' is still sold by TEES as a 'genuine' product from Taiwan 'legally'. Also, lower quality Chinese copies have since appeared on the market as well. What a fuck up! But as usual, the Japanese made ones are still the best in terms of safety and quality.
