defective inner tubes?

I had a second bontrager 2.0 - 2.4 inner tube split between the molding seams inline with the valve today. both sides of the valve in staggered places had random straight line tears / cuts. they are on the inner side of the tube, the bit that sits in contact with the rim tape. It's a bit bizzare that i had two go in the same way. the one that went today was brand new and the first ride out on it.
my pressures ranged between 32 + 36 psi and the rim tape and tyres have no damage to them.
is there a batch of faulty bontrager inner tubes aroound at moment or is there something else that causes this?

How old are the tubes? Have you had them for a while but just got around to using them?Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

The age of the rear tyres vary. One is about 8 months old and the other is nearly new and used twice.
One of the inner tubes came with the bike, about 8 months old and the other was brand new out of the box the day before i rode it.I don't know enough to make smart r's remarks about peoples choice of parts 'n' things, yet!0 -
How long had it been in the box? They can deteriorate in the box.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350
