Actually, I have seen this done many times!!!

While working at IFCO, dealers wanted to return product that was perfectly

sticking the dog collars in the uwave.  Blew the tops off of them exposing
the die.  Might have been due to trapped moisture.

(after I left the company, some of the local dealers confessed)
