Dilaudid syringe failure/quality control

We have had 10+ Dilaudid (brand) 0.2mg/mL Simplist syringes that have had their plungers fall out. Most of them have been from lot # 6401540. We recently have had a box of 10 that only had 5 syringes in it, and a syringe that the RN stated had no drug in it from the same lot. Curious if anyone else has seen this or something similar.
