You really have to be careful where you purchase these from. Sometimes I may seem to harp on the generics and only recommend OEM components, but this is only because I have heard of numerous situations like yours and it is hard to tell who has the "good stuff" and who has the "junk" with respect to generics. I usually get mine from B&D Enterprises who always has quality products as they are a direct importer and a wonderful company to do business with.
