The fact that some of them don't have this problem means that the problem is a consumer protections failure, not a categorical product hazard. So you'll have to pardon me if I consider that strictly a danger of inadequate safety regulations and not a danger of protein powders. How known hazard testing of random samples of all foods sold to the public isn't mandatory at regular intervals is beyond me.
