1994 Honda Accord Distributor keep dying

I had complete tune up done on my Honda Accord about 8 months ago which included replacing my distributor. Since then, my distributor keep dying every other month. Last three times, my mechanic told me that he got batch of faulty distributors. Today, I had to tow my car again because it died while I was driving. Once the engine shuts off, it won't turn again until my mechanic replace the distributor. I am beginning to wonder it may not be bad distributors.

What can possibly keep killing my distributor? Someone told me that I have to reset the computer chip once I replace a distributor, but I assume my mechanic did that. Please advise.
