Seems like it missed a sanding stage in the manufacturing process

I just received this Paragon Arctic Blast Sno Cone Machine. It arrived damaged so I have to return it. That's not a big deal - shipping happens. However, I pulled the unit out of the box to take a look at it just to make sure I wanted to re-order the item. When I ran my hand around the inside of the hopper my fingers were covered with silver paint and metal particles. The inside of the hopper wasn't smooth at all - very rough, Seems like it missed a sanding stage in the manufacturing process. I don't know why I was getting paint on my hands or why the interior was painted at all. I have no doubt metal shavings would have been mixed in with the ice. I imagine paint would have discolored the ice as well. You certainly wouldn't want to be serving that to kids!
