If they only have 1,000 miles on them, the tire shop should take it back without question.

Two possibilities are an impact break, a common occurrence on low profile tire where the threads holding the sidewall together are separated and the air pressure is pushing the rubber out. This is a dangerous condition and the tire should be changed asap.
Normal construction of the tire also will sometimes create a small bulge, usually with a small indentation beside it. I'd have a tire shop take a look at it to make sure.

You should take the car to a respectable tire dealer and have him look at it. It is possible that the "bulge" you see is a condition called side wall depression and is not harmful but is only a slight separation of the sidewall plys. Only a trained tire person can tell.Look to see what make of tire it is and take it to an authorized local dealer for that brand.

Sidewall bulges often lead to catastrophic blowouts after the weather heats up.
Take it in to a tire shop and ask their opinion.

If there is any buldge it meants the cord inside the tire is broken. It's going to slowly get bigger and become more likely to cause blowout. You don't want a tire blowing out at any speed, at 100 you'd be in a pretty hellish place. Change the tire and driving habit. Going that fast never causes any good.

The side will blow out on you at some point.
You MUST change that tire.
And slow down.
