Just bought a “new” breaker from Canada Breakers and its condition doesn’t exactly instill confidence. It looks dusty and used. The silver contacts are not shiny and have a matte white coating on them (I suspect oxidation?). Is this normal?

Thank you, appreciate your response. Yes, this is a homeline CHOM115PCAFI. Would you say it’s worth trying to return/exchange it? I’d rather avoid the hassle, but I also wouldn’t want to attempt cleaning it and risking damaging it (not to mention the principle of buying new and getting a clearly used one)
Absolutely, I would not install this. Breakers are a safety device.
