Just like government approval of drugs that kill people (FDA), park approval doesn't guarantee anything. There are numerous documented cases of bears feasting on food stored in these containers. (hanging of food is still approved in many parks, and I recall how well that worked the last time I encountered a bear). If this item works so well, why is a redesign currently in production?

We at Bearvault have been very upfront about our product; it works everywhere except the Marcy Dam area of the Adirondacks. We have gone on numerous forums (and also on our web site) stating if you hike in this area do not use our product. Any redesign we may be working on is to address this area. There are no problems elsewhere. The negative posts about our product all come from people who have used our product in the Marcy Dam area, against our recommendations.
