Glad you're alright, Lewis.

Brand names and supply sources aren't necessarily a guarantee of quality anymore. Some brands are now just aggregators of no-name products - that is, the company finds a no-name product that meets a specification (and price/volume requirement) and wacks their brand on it. Sometimes there's an extra layer of QC added, sometimes not. I've had a Belkin gadget blow up on me and they're supposed to be a "premium" brand - when I took it apart, it was cheap junk.
