any reason given why those periods are recalled and not others? Material sourcing issue?

Quote HistoryQuoted: any reason given why those periods are recalled and not others? Material sourcing issue? "This recall and replacement is necessary because a supplier of some certified ballistic grade steel failed to disclose to AR500 Armor that some of its steel failed certain ballistic tests until after the body armor had been distributed." |

Failure on the steel suppliers part for not disclosing the bad batch. Failure on the armor guys part for not verifying lot test COC or doing internal lot testing.

CHRIS they test each batch but 1 plate out of 1000 (don't recall the actual sample size but they have stated it in the past) may still pass even though it is a bad batch of steel. Their plates are underrated so it is possible for a sample size of that size to miss a bad batch. |
