I do this probably once a day at my makerspace. Sometimes it is the manufacturer's fault and sometimes it's just that the roll has gotten a tangle while being moved from machine to machine or machine to rack.
I don't put my finger on the tangle, but usually the tangle isn't obvious in the spool so you can't even if you wanted to.
It's really just a matter of spinning the filament around the roll enough to get some slack, then you pull it over the side and sort it out. Usually the fix involves pushing the filament around the spool to unbind it.
This is another one of those issues that you typically detect by hearing an abnormal sound since you're not watching every print all the time across multiple printers.
