Fuel Filter Question - Damage to Filter

I ordered a new set of fuel filters online and the larger filter came with some damage (see the photo below). Is that little chunk that's missing any cause for concern? If it matters, I found the chip in the bag so it's not floating around inside the filter. No other damage noted, the box didn't seem beat up at all either.

I would ask for a replacement. I would not use it.
