The turbine wheel more than likely came from the manufacturer like that. If the blade bent like that during normal operation the unit would begin to vibrate badly. If you are concerned about the turbine wheel now then perhaps just change it for piece of mind since JJ sells parts. Either way make sure to re-balance the turbine before you run this again.
