Query: Canon branding Chinese construction

I bought the OC-E3 cable at the same time I bought 2 Canon Speedlites just prior to leaving on a trip to Chicago where I am now. Unpacked my equipment and was getting ready to attach the cable to the camera's hotshoe when the housing holding the metal plate that slides into the hotshoe just fell apart. No pulling, no tugging, no stressful yanks, no nothing. Brand new and there it is: broken. And irreparable. The pieces don't snap back together, no loose screws to tighten; just pieces with nothing that I can determine will ever hold themselves together again. For the eighty some odd dollars this cable cost this is unconscionable. So, beware buyer - albeit, there aren't many choices out there if this is the cable needed.
