Cheap guts inside and no QC on them so now they got to pay.
All are good brands - I have many new Okaya safety caps and NEC/Tokin high-capacitance (1-8 Farad) caps. The issue was with price fixing - collusion to drive up prices. A no-no. I use the NEC caps to replace memory caps on early 90s controller cards with the .5 to 3.3 Farad caps that like to open up....old they are.

Matsushita caps spiked in price for a while, but that was the Tsunami/Fukashima disaster and the reduced production.
