Defective new parts are no surprise to me. I go thru a lot of brakes on my mail route, at any given time I have 3 sets on the shelf. I would guess the failure rate in the first week of mailroute at about 10 percent. After that they are OK until they wear out. Always the same failure, regardless of where I got them. It is usually on a Monday, when I have the weekend mail along with a big fat boxholder everybody gets and the car is honestly overloaded. What happens is the pad shucks right off the backing. Happens with any grade I use. Not enough glue to stand the heat or riveted too loose to stand the extreme braking. Also had a tractor tire tube I ordered from an EBAY seller that took over a week to get to me, when I received and installed it leaked like a sieve. Never did find all the leaks, patched 4 and still leaking. At that time I got the clue tube pure junk. Bought one locally, no problem with it at all. Junk one was Korea made, local one USA. Finally got replacement tube from internet seller, think I will air it up and see if it holds air better than the one they sent me before. If it does will keep in case I need it, otherwise just going to pitch it. Oh, regarding the brakes, I can't even guess where they are made. I have one set here that does say Hecho En E U A, which I do think means made in USA, the rest say distributed in USA. We need to take our country back, the bad part is even a lot of the USA made is by illegal workers.
