Bad Luck with Seydel

So I was really excited about the Blues Session Steel harmonicas. I really like the way that they sound and they are very comfortable. Unfortunately I have been having some bad luck. Within less than a week, I had reed go flat on me. I sent it in to get repaired and in the meantime bought another Blues Session Steel harp (in a different key). Within a week, a reed snapped and I sucked it into my mouth. I don't play these any harder than my Hohners or Lee Oskars so maybe I am just having REALLY bad luck.
