Metal shaved off new ball joints

I ordered some parts from Autodoc UK, and the Lemforder ball joints arrived with layers of metal shaved off. I have honestly never seen anything like this before. Does anyone know what this could be and why it might happen? I am completely confused.

What happens in this situation

Let’s say early In the year I have an er visit and I meet my deductible so my insurance is now paying 70% of the allowed amount on future visits

Then before I have made any payments for that first visit, I have some other medial expenses where the deductible applies and insurance pays 70% of the allowed amount on those visits.

Then, I end up negotiating with the emergency room billing and end up paying less than my deductible for that emergency room visit.

Does insurance find out about this? Do they care? Do they try and reclaim money from me?
