I bought this jigsaw from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. The blade has popped out during use several times, even though I believe I always seated it correctly. The saw has a tool-less blade change feature.

Something else I noticed today: the rod/blade holder assembly can pivot about a quarter inch forward (it can’t be moved side to side).

Do these seem like defects, or is it just the way this tool is designed?

Here is a 9-second video I made showing the movement:
