I have installed hundreds of these (part # 5601)and have never had one with a problem like that. I am not saying I don't believe it.
I would return all 10 (I'm sure Leviton would like to see them), and get new ones.

Just suppose, as
an example, that a space heater was plugged into
an outlet controlled by one of the switches, and
some clothing happened to fall on the heater.
Now suppose the switch breaks, and the heater
turns on--how long until the fire starts?
Comments, suggestions, thoughts anyone?
1- Don't store clothes on or above your space heater.
2- Check the batteries in your smoke detectors.
3- Lightning could hit your house too!
