The RAM failed a little over a year after purchase. I wonder why I will not buy again.

I bought 3 sticks on April 15, 2015. A few weeks ago two of the 3 sticks failed. They were installed on different computers and installed correctly by me, a computer engineer. I have never had a RAM failure in my life and have bought and installed hundreds of RAM modules. I contacted the seller, Sunrise Nanotech, and they refused to help because the sale was over a year old. I'm contacting Crucial for a replacement, but am wondering why two sticks of RAM from the same vendor failed just over a year after purchase. It could be a manufacturing issue. but I really don't now. What I do know is that I am very dissatisfied with having to remove and replace RAM.

Pros
