Are all of the failures so far on Clippard tanks?

Before we call for a ban on all the plastic tanks, I think we really need to answer these questions. As far as I know PneuAire made the plastic tanks before Clippard started doing it. It was my understanding that Clippard released the 2013 plastic air tanks in response to teams using the PneuAire ones in the 2012 season.
We have used the PneuAire tanks (bought from PneuAire) without any failures for the past 3 years (only 2 in competition).
Safety is very important but we also shouldn't overreact.
