  Eric,

Good news that you found the problem.  Yes, any manufacturer can have
problems at one time or another.
I once helped wire a house, one electrical fixture did not work.  We
removed the wire and found that one "conductor" had no copper inside for
a distance of about 10 feet.  It happens to the best.

73,
