I can't tell from the pictures, but did it start a whole other growth point? Or did the blackened leaf just die back and growth resumed? I've been told that sometimes the fungicide/insecticide used importation. If this is the case, it generally only affects the outer leaf and growth is normal after it unfurls.
On a side note, when I read your title I saw it as "rejects" as in "Refuses to turn out well;" so imagine my surprise when there are such nice plants inside! lol.

xvart,
Each yellow arrow points to the black growing tip which grew out and opened like a regular leaf. Except that it was severely truncated. These plants were from BE and I am not sure if they use any fungicide/insecticide on them. N. campanulata doesn't like being bagged up for sure. The plants arrived late as they made a detour to the wrong institution for the post-import phytosanitary check. Nearly all of the plants had blackened pitchers and a couple had their growing tips turned black.
Joe,
Till now, even I still find it hard to believe how good this media is for N. campanulata. I repotted several plants before and they actually do not go into shock. Seriously, no signs at all. The plants continue growing like they have not been moved. And because burnt earth is rather loosely packed, I don't even have a root ball to handle. Everything falls apart and all is left are the roots.
