Are the Bauer extended balljoints failing more than stock?

Bauer claims their EBJs with forged bodies are stronger than stock/OEM. People hawking eccentric bushings for the upper control arms are saying that the EBJs are failing at a higher rate than stock, along with other unsupported claims.
It’s been long enough now for trends to develop. I’ve seen a couple mentions of failures but few specifics and certainly nothing alarming.

No, they are not failing. I have used only the ebjs since they have come out on 2 different cars. Still running the same sets. Imo, a much better solution than the bushings.

I had one fail at 70mph through a ditch...so did the LCA and shock 
I'm seeing a lot of cars on a monthly basis and I'm not aware of any specific failure that wasn't contact related?
I would agree with James there doesn't seem to be an obvious problem!
Penske shocks on the other hand..........................
