Bad lids?

Today I canned 3 quart jars of turkey, and 3 quart jars of water. I opened a brand new box of Ball lids. Canned everything as usual, including wiping the rims of the jars holding turkey/broth. Admittedly, I did not wipe the jars containing water. Because, well, it's WATER. Well 2 of the 3 turkeys and 1 of the waters did NOT seal. One of the remaining waters is questionable. I'll have to pull on it tomorrow to see for sure if it's sealed. So, 3 out of 6 definitely did not seal. That is a 50% failure rate, and possibly more. What the heck? Have you ever heard of a bad batch of lids; does that happen?
