Defective binding - pages don't tear off properly

I just opened this pack of legal pads that I ordered about two months ago. I've ordered these before, but the current package is defective. The binding was not done correctly and the pages don't tear cleanly. There is either no perforation of the pages or the perforation is back under the stapled part of the binding. Unfortunately, these were ordered more than 30 days ago, so I can't return them. I'm stuck with defective legal pads :-(
