PRODUCT WARNING AND RECALL NOTICE WINCHESTER® Super-X 17 HMR 20 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point
Any questions may be directed (i) to your Winchester Sales Representative, (ii) to our hotline at 1-844653-8358
Olin Winchester, LLC (“Winchester”) has initiated a voluntary recall of 17 HMR 20 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point rimfire ammunition, Symbol number X17HMR1, lot numbers NB51 and NB61. Winchester has determined the above lots of 17 HMR ammunition may contain no powder charges. Ammunition with no powder charges may result in a bullet remaining in the barrel (i.e., a bullet-in-bore obstruction). Firing a subsequent bullet into the bore obstruction could cause firearm damage, rendering the firearm inoperable and subjecting the shooter and bystanders to a risk of serious personal injury.
We have identified the suspect lot numbers and are implementing an international recall. This notice applies only to Symbol X17HMR1 with lot numbers NB51 and NB61. Other symbol numbers or lot numbers are not subject to this recall.
This recall has been posted on our website (www.winchester.com) and we have acquired ad space in upcoming print and electronic media publications.
We request that you audit any material you have in-stock, looking for the subject date codes. If you have any of these date codes, please isolate this material at your facility and contact your Winchester Sales Representative or call our hotline below for further instruction.
We also request that you post the attached recall notice in your store and on your website to ensure this notice reaches as many of your customers as possible.
Any questions may be directed (i) to your Winchester Sales Representative, (ii) to our hotline at 1-844653-8358, or (iii) through our product support link https://winchester.com/Support/Customers/ProductSupport.
