Depends on the manufacturer.

There are several EASA AD's for the A320 series which relate to slide failure to deploy. One of which refers to torn aspirators which may initially seem to be fabric related (actually related to poor positioning of the aspirator and subsequent damage during deployment)

If you've found a problem with a cabin evacuation device I suggest you report it to both the manufacturer and the relevant authority, so that they may investigate and rectify via SB or even AD.
