I picked up a K&N oil filter with some Pennzoil Platinum yesterday at advance auto parts. The guy at the store picked out the oil filter, so I wasn't able to inspect it until I got home. Well when looking down the hole to the bottom of the dome there is a place where (whatever they use to glue them together) got away from making a circle. Basically I was just unsure if the filter would still filter and if the oil would just pass through the "hole" if there is one. I will post a picture later today if I can get a photo of it. I'm probably over exaggerating it.
Is this okay? K&N oil filter

No, i would not use it personaly.
Reutrn the filter and request an exchange, tell them you were unable to inspect it until you got home.

Don't use it. Exchange for another and be sure to inspect before leaving the store.
Return it for another one.
To the OP's question: yeah, return it (assuming it's not too much hassle).
I have gotten into a habit of checking every oil filter I buy. Of course, when the parts guys get it for you, it may take you being a little pushy to make sure you can inspect it. Keep in mind, though, I'm sure they see this all the time.
