FWIW, here is an exerpt from a post of several years ago, although it doesn't mention the light blue form:

It's easy to verify that the coil form is mechanically sound by 'wiggling' it briskly. If it's compromized, it'll be obvious and the coil will act like a Slinky.

There were three types coil forms that were not prone to this problem:

1. Brown phenolic
2. Yellow plastic
3. Solid white (opaque) plastic

The one that's always suspect is a whiteish semi-translucent plastic.
