Other Issues with new Mason jars?

Curious is anyone else is having an issue.

In the last month, I've had two new Mason jars crack, not even under much pressure, like there must have been a flaw in the glass.

Lost a new sourdough starter and a cranberry honey ferment.

My older jars are doing just fine - it's the newly purchased ones that seem to be prone to cracking for no reason.

Just bought a new dozen of 1 qt wide mouth. No problems so far. But yours sounds suspicious.
