Can a pin hole in the enamel on enamel-coated cast iron cookware cause enamel to crack?

Question

We just got a shipment of enamel-coated cast iron cookware today and the skillet seems to have unfinished enamel on it. There's a small, pin-sized hole on the bottom on the inside. We were wondering if anything could get between the enamel and the cast iron or if it might chip at a later date?

Or any other problems it might cause? Please let us know if we need to return the product.

I would return it. Once a chip or opening occurs on enamel coated cookware,rust will start forming, and continue to form. Resulting in an on going rust,and chipping off of the enamel.Can you understand this? Maybe it just sounds funny, but that is what happens. Byee
