What's the date code on the can?
Just pulled it out to check: October 2013. Scratch the 'older stock' theory.
From what I recall, a lot of the media tears reported recently here seem to have been from filters made around that same time frame (mid to late 2013). As mentioned before, I think it's mostly certain filters with the metal crimped seam that have the tearing issue.
