They were Chinese knockoffs of a Japanese design.  However there was a
proprietary trick that the Chinese missed and so they made and sold a
vast number of caps that turned out to be defective.

Electrolytics usually have burst membranes intended to prevent them from
exploding when they evolve gas and they usually work on low-voltage
ones.  They often work on high-voltage caps too, but other times you can
get a nice bang.  Big motor starter capacitors can be fun that way.
