Contact whoever you bought the knife from to get a refund or exchange. Explain to them the problem. Who did you buy it from?

Try tightening the pivot screw a bit. Just enough to get rid of the play while still keeping the action smooth. Doesn’t take much adjustment on Spydercos

Are you talking about when the blade is open and you cut into something the blade moves a bit? If that's the case it happens with Seki backlock models. It will reduce a little over time. Doesn't affect lockup or strength.

I received a delica 4 in k390 for Christmas. It has zero, and I mean zero play in either direction when locked open. But when you release the lock the blade drops like a pendulum, swings freely. This is my only seki city spyderco. Maybe try tightening the pivot screw a tad? I would think it may just need a bit of adjustment l, but should be capable of a smooth easy action with no play.

The Spyderco lockbacks are going to have a bit of up/down play. This doesn’t affect the strength or function of the knife at all.

When the blade is open Has some.
Vertical movement even if the pivot is tightened

I've been carrying my current one for about a year. Zero up and down play and this is my everyday homestead work folder.

I attach from my phone. You gotta have a gold membership to do so though. Otherwise, you’ll have to go through an image hosting site, Imgur, Photobucket, etc.

Both, the ZDP Endura and K390 Police came from the factory with zero play.
Replaced the scales on the Endura and never had serious issues with play,
I'm using it primarily for cutting some carboard, blade play is minuscule, hardly noticeable.
As others suggested - adjusting pivot screw should help.

Where did you get the red scales and the pocket clip?.. Every screw on mine was loose. That's why I had up a downplay.
