Posting with the hope that this might save someone from getting hurt.

Thanks for the heads up. Just bought 2k and checked the lot # and am ok but this could be a real hazard. Glad you are letting our group know about it.

Glad it's none of mine. Daughter would have been very disappointed.

Any idea what's wrong with it?

I apologize for not posting the link, and would have done so, except that the posting rules for this forum specifically preclude posting links to other web sites...
Being new, I didn't want to get dinged, even doing the right thing.

As an aside, I checked and none of mine are affected by the recall either.

I just checked the 525 rd boxes of Winchester that I got at Gander Mt. last week. Good to go.

Guess I ducked a bullet here.
