WotC have made several mistakes in 2023, some of them huge. This is not one of them.

Production issues occur. No matter what processes and protections you put in place, sometimes things slip though. It happens.

What matters is how you react to it when it does happen, and in this case WotC have done exactly the right thing - pull the offending stock, fix the issue, and accept the pain from the delay.

For this one, I give them credit.

The manufacturer is no doubt going to be the one tonpaybfor this.

The acceptable failure rate, which this seems to have exceeded, would have already been baked into the price.

Pushing the product back till after Christmas is going to hurt sales nevertheless.

I got an email from Amazon saying the shipment would be delayed until January 2nd, 2024. Likely just a filler date.

People are criticizing them for doing what's right? Unreal.

Yeah, defects are not OK, but it's not like they wanted defective product. The test isn't having perfect manufacturing logistics, it is how you handle problems when they arise.
