I'd still try to go for a refund - didn't work out of the box, which is not your fault.
How much reverse voltage does that driver run such that it actually fries the diode though? Reverse ratings on laser diode datasheets are often quite low, but in practice most diodes will survive just well when reverse biased by 5 volts or so.
