What was the bareboard defect? Issue them a corrective action request.
Salvage what components you can, then bill the PCB house for the value added
components that could not be salvaged, then find a new supplier that spells
out this type of scenario up front.

Subject: [TN] To late Board already populated, but bare PCB has a
defect.


Hi,

Is there an industry standard on who is responsible for the scrapped
material from a PCB assembly that has been populated, but later discovered
that the bare PCB had a defect.?
Several panels were bad, but they were located in the middle of a stack of
panels.  Do others go after the board house for liability, split the cost,
or eat the total cost yourself?

Thanks,
Jim
