Have anybody seen this? I just ordered some ammo from outdooramerica.com 9mm124 +P and they are on recall list. Anybody who tried to return their ammo for replacement? Heres the link http://www.greent.com/40Page/general/speer-recall.htm Speer Recalls Gold Dot Ammunition Product Recall: Speer Gold Dot Ammunition -380 Auto, 9mm, 9mm+P, and 40 S&W. An intermittent, low frequency occurrence of primer misfires may occur under certain circumstances in several calibers of Gold Dot ammunition. This only applies to Gold Dot ammunition of the specified calibers produced between 09-25-01 and 03-31-02. An unauthorized change in manufacturing process was made back in late September, This resulted in primers being used that did not meet specifications. Those primers are mostly used for ammo going to Government Contract shipments. However some of the ammo does go out through distributors to local and state contracts. Speer Gold Dot 380 Auto, 9mm, 9mm+P, and 40 S&W ammunition produced between 09-25-01 and 03-31-02 should be returned to the factory for a no charge replacement. Replacement ammunition will incorporate an "A" mark on the primer cup for identification purposes. You should discontinue use of the subject ammunition and follow the procedure below immediately. To return ammunition subject to this notice, please provide the information requested below by email, toll free fax, or toll free hotline. A customer service person will then contact you to explain how to return and replace any ammunition affected by the recall. Voice hotline Px 1-866-286-7436, Fax 1-866-665-2738, email [email protected] Letters in lot code indicate month and year of production. Recall period is from Sept. 25th, 2001 to March 31st, 2002.
