I've had customers ask for information they had no idea how to use and sent them
blank disks as a test.
I never got a callback. Of course if I had I would have apologized and sent a
new corrected disk right away.

I've had quite a number of early DVD-Rs, and even some DVD+Rs, fail utterly.
The resulting failure mode results in drives reporting "NO MEDIA".
I tried every drive I have to read them back, from old RPC-1 DVD-ROMs right
through to BD burners, with the same results.
I've had CD-RWs and DVD-RWs fail visibly: you can see a "splotch" in
the dyes from the recording side. And, sure enough, such discs could no longer
be read back or even erased.
I've also had pressed DVD-Video discs fail; about 70 out of 1400. Including the
original release of the James Bond films, and the original release of Kentucky
Fried Movie. (Mmmmm... cheesy!) All those failures were "laser-rot":
I had watched every single one when I'd first bought them.
CD-Rs have been somewhat more reliable.
Heck, I've got a couple of bad CD-DAs, but I think those were defective
pressings.
Digital archiving has to be an active process; you can't stick the recording
media in a vault and hope.
