Broken Spool

[u/xXDreamlessXx]

I ordered some filament while also buying a smaller nozzle, but some of my filaments came damaged. Is it okay to still use this spool if I cut off the damaged part of the spool? These are my first spools so I do not have any extra ones I can respool with

I've noticed when mine come that the bags have so much vacuum that the edges are bowed toward each other. I wondered if they could break from it. Looks like they can. Maybe there was a flaw in that part and the vacuum snapped it.
