Defective drain plug gasket

Had my 9-5 Linear Sportwagon in for a 25K 'voluntary' oil change recently. Came back from a wkd train trip to find a large (foot diameter) puddle of oil under the car. Oil check still above minimum -- enough to go directly to dealer next day to have it fixed.
Dealer claimed it was a "defective" drain plug gasket. I wonder if it was just a sloppy job or if they reused the old plug (other posts indicate that it's important to change each time).
I'm suspicious since it was not the usual Saab techs that did the oil change, it was the Toyota crew (who left a sticker saying my next change would be needed in 3000 miles - not!). Adding to my suspicion - grease stains on the floor mats and even on the moon roof cover. Sloppy and unprofessional. Clearly visible with the beige interior (once I was out on the road -- wife noticed the moon roof stains the next day).
Has anyone heard of a "defective" drain plug gasket? Or were they simply making excuses? I'm sure glad I took the train that wkd instead of driving and getting stranded with a leaked out system!
Many thanks - my infrequent visits to this board are always informative.
