New Stihl has orange material in cylinder!

Brand new Stihl hedge trimmer and after two uses, it suddenly wont start. I wait a day, still not even a hint of starting. I removed the spark plug and found "orange rubber" sitting on the piston and on the spark plug. It appears it could be a silicone gasket sealer or similar (flexible orange/red). A few cranks blew all the material out of the cylinder, cleaned plug, and the trimmer started again and ran well. Should I be concerned now for the longevity of the unit?
