Pex Failures?

Anyone having problems with brass Pex fittings leaking or breaking?

There's a class action lawsuit in Las Vegas involving Ipex and I've heard about hundreds of failures in homes in Minnesota. Brass fittings from Zurn and others are cracking and failing within a year or so of installation.
