If we assume 200 broken units, just for fun:
If they shipped 1000 units, that's a 20% failure rate (they shipped more than 1000).
If they shiped 10,000 units, that's a 2% failure rate (this is probably closer to the truth, but it could be even more than that).
They would have had to ship 50,000 units for the 200 units to equal a .4% failure rate.
And in addition to not knowing how many units they shipped, there's also no way of knowing how many units were damaged in transit somehow as opposed to being broken from the get go.
In summary, there's almost no way of figuring out any realistic failure rate from the number of 1* reviews.
