Any one is reason enough, for me, to pick another maker. These are all facts.
I'm not seeing it pushed over to a side. It didn't have tears and the adbv (the rubber thing??) On top was centered on the Spout of the core. So I think this was good to go.
Good it isn't torn at the bottom of the pleat that is bent out at the seam, can't see the bottom, but that's where they tear most. The pics 2,3 show the media pushed to the side. Almost to the edge like on the new Bosch. The media is supposed to be evenly against the center tube. Your adbv was fine, mine wasn't. So that's the problem, not all are bad, but some are. I won't be their Guinea pig. If others want to be, fine.
