<p>I have just got my mocha pot for the first time by enthusiasm but look what i have found! Deep scratches, not one or two, a lot! It almost looks like someone did this intentionally while producing. Why this would be happened? Is it safe for using and normal?</p>

Do you know what metal it is?  Were you trying to imply that it is aluminum?

I have just got my mocha pot for the first time by enthusiasm but look what i have found! Deep scratches, not one or two, a lot! It almost looks like someone did this intentionally while producing. Why this would be happened? Is it safe for using and normal?

I have already been a little suspicious by going to use 'aluminum' pot, and then seeing this added spice to it.

Could you please navigate me considering heavy metal-health effect, if i should return this and paid back or not?

Thanks indeed.[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/eMOva.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/eMOva.jpg)
