In your second picture right above the"should move to the right" start of the arrow you can see the discoloring in the blue plastic where that arm has bent. That is what is causing your issue.

I'm guessing that the safety lever bottoms out on the hard stop when fully depressed yet there is still a lot of the lever present that the operator's hand can depress instead of the lever submerging into the housing. This means the plastic is under constant pressure in use and deformed over time leading to this failure mode.
Design flaw.
