QA/QC? Obviously very poor.

Take it back and get another one (within 28 days as otherwise you'll have to send it back to TT)

Take it back and swap it. Simple.
Think yourself lucky it's not a computer monitor. For those there is some ridiculous "acceptible dead pixel rate" where you have to start really threatening them to get things swapped. Evil or Very Mad
