That's my guess as well- exposed to air & humidity & for some time. (Maybe a bad crown gasket/seal?) Doesn't seem like it's possible it passed Geneva QC that way.

At any rate, I would demand (politely, but very firmly) a 100% return for full refund immediately. A reputable AD shouldn't give you a problem. How you'll get another one is the problem, but job #1 is getting the full refund for that one.
