Why is this happening?

 I might have a bad blade or maybe there is something going on that one of you have experienced before. Every time I cut a small piece using my miter gauge it shoots the cut off back like a bullet. I have been cut several times by the piece being shot back and hitting my hand. I doesn't happen with my other blades, but this is a new blade so it could be faulty. This blade is a Freud FTG and I have used this brand blade for years without incident. I use a blade stabilizer even though it is a 1/8" blade. The cuts it makes seem perfect, but something is not right. I’m pretty sure it’s the blade, because t doesn’t happen with my other blades, but they all cost at least twice what this one does. 

Anyone want to take a shot at what is causing this?
