| What do you do with a string that's dead right out of the package?

I just strung up my Lakland with a set of LaBella Hard Rockin' Steels yesterday. When I string up a bass, I always start with the low string. As I was putting the E string on, I could tell that it was lifeless. Since this was my first set of Hard Rockin' Steels, I figured that this might have been typical. But I put the other strings on, and they were great. I know some people prefer the sound of dead strings, but I love the sustain and zing of new strings. Needless to say, I was disappointed that only 3 of the strings I just put on sounded this way.
So what do you do when you get a dead string right out of the package? Toss the set? Try to return it? Contact the manufacturer?
I've never had a brand new dead string before, I'm not sure how to handle it.
