Anyone hear about "bursting capacitors"

[cd34]

Ultimately, 41 of 45 machines of a certain series that I had purchased failed within the first year.

The story I heard was that an engineer left one company to start his own and got the formula wrong.

I never really took a picture of a failed capacitor because I didn't think much about it. I know when it first started, I was on the phone with their engineers, they were blaming heat, they blamed the bad power supply (although they supplied it), they blamed improper installation, etc. When I showed them that article, every warranty was extended to two years, and I really haven't had any problems since.
