So, I think there's something in my Epi-Pen, somehow?

Obviously I am not in need of using it right now, if it were an emergency I wouldn't be posting on a forum. Still, I haven't seen any mentions about something like this before. It looks like there's a hair in the autoinjector somehow. I think it somehow got caught between the window and the actual solution, as it does not seem wet or anything of that sort.

Picture included, should I get a new one of these things?

    Hi I would return to your pharmacy to get it checked and replaced if needed.
