Just do you due dilligence in making sure it is safe to use.
Same with my miter gauge to blade contact I had a while back. The cartridge did its job to stop the blade dead to rights. I was able to take the blade (Freud Thin Kerf Glue Line Rip) out of the aluminum block. I brought it to my sharpener and he could find no damage at all. I figured it was a fluke until I read Daniel's post.
