Found five minutes to ping an message on their site. I suspect they'll just point me back at the retailer but you never know your luck. I'm not going to expend any more effort than that.

Wow, the metal hoop of right pad has broken off. How did that happen?

Another brand (three initials, UK-based) was notorious for the frction material coming off the backplate, whether on bicycle, motorbike or car applications. Don't know if they ever fixed it.

Just going to add, I have worn multiple pairs of pads down to the metal. This demonstrates a total lack of enthusiasm for any kind of brake maint regime other than 'it works or it doesn't'! Hitting the metal is often not noticeable in any performance related way but just gets really noisy (which reminds me, my best carbon sunday bike rear brakes were grinding horribly last weekend, must check the pads......).
This possibly just goes to demonstrate that your failure is not typical or to be expected. IME with bikes and cars the only time the friction material parts company is on massively old pads where the vehicle mileage has been so low that corrosion has crept behind the friction material and caused separation rom the metal backing plate.
Complain like hell and ask to speak to their lawyers!!!!

Is that not one pad on the left with the braking material shown on the right ? So one half of a set of pads ?
