The manufacturer typically can't be blamed. However, the wholesale purchaser certainly can be.
Places that actually care about what they sell to their clients have what is simply called "receiving inspection". If the piece is not made to their specifications it is rejected. Or, again, if the wholesale purchaser doesn't care, they accept it and pass along the inferior product to their clients.
