The correct term is "bear trap". Bear trap pedals is now more of a style of pedal than it is a brand. A bear trap pedal is a pedal that has a round outer cage with teeth going around a cast aluminum main body.
These days, the most common "bear trap" is the Victor VP-747. They've been made non-stop for the last 20 some years and are fairly cheap, yet quite durable.
The original "bear trap" pedal was made by TiTron in the late 70's. Hutch then used TiTron as an OEM for Hutch's "Bear Trap" (the actual name given to the pedals on the box) pedal. The Bear Trap became so popular that Hutch bough TiTron in 1983. Hutch finally went out of business in 1992, but by then almost every manufacturer of BMX components had their version of a "bear trap" pedal.
The Hutch brand was relaunched a couple years ago and they, once again, have "Bear Trap" brand pedals. Although they're decent pedals, they're not near the quality of the original U.S. made Bear Traps from the 80's.
