SanDisk cards never had a real widespread problem...

Fake SanDisk cards did! At one point it was estimated that over 30% of the "SanDisk" micro-SD cards were counterfeit.

Even today, if you seem to be getting a great deal on a SanDisk card chances are it is fake. SanDisk has articles on their website on how to spot the counterfeits, but sometimes it is almost impossible prior to purchase/use.

Personally, the widespread counterfeiting of SanDisk has led me to avoid them entirely... just not worth the risk with so many alternatives.
