  Not python but I have story of team that depended on a C# library for saving zip files (SharpZipLib); turns out SharpZipLib had an issue: it could corrupt zip files ( https://github.com/icsharpcode/SharpZipLib/issues/391 ). This was a desktop app and reports from users came pouring in about they not being able to open their files. In response the company had to first manually recover their user's data; and nowadays they stress test sharpziplib to make sure it does not produce corrupted files in newer versions.
