I’d have maybe thought that too but bottom line of course is they shouldn’t have snapped at all.
I’ve seen burrs like that on the front cranks quite often, think it’s just from tightening the pedal up against the crank innit? I wouldn’t be surprised if they are where the cracks have propagated from in this case, ie it makes a good case for using pedal washers.

Well yeah, but then is it design fault, production fault, user error? Given there seems to be a lot of them - are these super common cranks and it's just normal numbers? Are they all faulty and this should be a recall situation? Is it a certain year/model that's failing more often? All that good stuff.

Yeah, just that the whole thing is black. I'd have thought it might've been noticeable long before that stage. Like movement, flex, squeaks, etc. What's the scoring on the front side? Where the pedal tore out?
