Fresh out of the box, stoneware has this tiny spot of missed glaze. Still safe to use I assume?

Get a lead testing kit. Or google the brand. Online it says that stoneware crockpots can contain lead. I’d just exchange it if you can, better safe than sorry.
Google is always your best friend when in doubt. Or if you want to make it easier grab chatgpt.

That would make me worry. If it was on the outside I wouldn’t care as much.
I would contact the manufacturer with that question or just get another unit of they can’t do anything.

I would replace it. If you are dead set on keeping it you could try seasoning the bottom of it in an oven like a cast iron pan. I don’t know that this makes it safe but I have done the same with an enameled Dutch oven that was passed down from my grandmother. (Wife ruined it with a steel wool pad… which are now no longer allowed in the house.)

That’s poor quality control, a ‘second’.
Unless you paid way less than RRP get it replaced & check it thoroughly before you take it away.

My only concern, would be moisture leaching into the ceramic and expanding too quickly when heated. It would be unlikely, but it COULD break the vessel. I don’t think it would really be dangerous, but it would make a terrible mess and ruin your meal.

Over time, it will start to crack from that point. You should return it.
