OK, that's what I thought.

I don't know how serious, but there have been some complaints about the quality control on the Sveas made in China. Generally, the older Sveas that say "Made in Sweden" (instead of just "Sweden") are considered the better quality stoves.

The Optimus Nova, traditionally an outstanding stove, has also had some quality control problems and has been subject to a recall.
