Kenda brand bicycle inner tubes failing next to valve.
I’ve had 10 tubes within the past month from Kenda (manufacturer) fail in the exact same manner. I reached out to them as well as the distributer (QBP) and was issued replacements that also failed in the same exact way.
The puncture occurs on the inside of the tube about 1 inch away from the valve. All of my failures have occurred at low speed but it could very easily happen at a much faster speed and cause a catastrophic accident and injury.
Upon further investigation, I found the exact same issue happening to other users via the internet. Here are some of those posts with photographs that match my exact issue.

It appears that this dates back to at least 2005.
