I just received some brand new front and rear brake pads from Mazda Swag and one of the front pads arrived cracked. What do you all think? Contact them and return it? This is for my 2016 CX-3 AWD.

I wouldn't take any risk with brakes...

That thing is garbage, send it back immediately!
Brake pads are not usually very expensive and personally, I would never buy them online. There are plenty of reputable auto parts stores, not to mention Mazda dealers where you can have a good look at them before you walk out the door.

I'd replace the pads if at all possible. Thier fairly cheap and i'd rather not have a pad come apart on me when i'm on the brakes hard

There's no way I would use that on my car - it looks like it is made from reconstituted chicken poop!
