Regulator swivel problems

I have been diving one of these swivels, and I really like it. I wanted to get one for the wife, and I saw this: Innovative Scuba Concepts Recalls Diving Regulator Components Due to Drowning Hazard

So one unit came apart and now they are all being recalled? Does anyone else here use one? My first thought is to get rid of it, but I honestly don't see the problem. I take mine apart to clean and lube it, and I can see how it could fail if it wasn't assembled properly, so I have to wonder if that was the case with the one that "came apart". There's a main screw that holds the two halves together and sets the seal/tension, then there's a set screw that keeps it from backing out. If that set screw wasn't tightened properly, I could see the whole thing coming apart, but I don't see that as a defect in the equipment itself. Opinions?
