Bad new CIM motor

When we went to fire up our practice chassis for the first time today the left side would not turn and was popping breakers. We traced the problem down to a locked up CIM motor.

This was a brand new never ran motor. Upon inspection we found a purple substance, corrosion, and a hard substance on the side of the armature (this is what was preventing the motor to turn.)

Any ideas?
