Defining ETF Risk: Does It Pass the "Smell" Test?

SmartETF, I liker your comment.
I also asking me if:
Are the ETNs and ETFs really sure?
Can you lose money if the issuer fails?
Is the same if the issurer is a big bank (let's say Barclays) or any of the less known companies?
Is there any case of failure?
Thanks.
