I did hear about the safety issues at NE Wood Pellets; maybe they are working too hard to meet demand.
Last winter we burned two ton of pellets imported and packaged by NE Pellets labeled as "Green Supreme" Canadian Premium wood pellets packaged at their Palmer, MA plant. They were high quality softwood pellets with very low ash and sand content and high heat output (as noted by bags per week burned with programmed thermostat control).
We also burned two ton of softwood pellets from Cornith, ME; these were high quality as well.
We tried the lower cost Wal-Mart Pennington brand hardwood pellets, very poor quality with lots of sand and ash. Same story with the low cost Lowe's pellets lots of sand and ash. I was cleaning the burn pot twice a day rather than once every three days.
