I am confused, what's the difference between a RECALL and a Product Warning Notice?
Thank you Cindy Grims.
Answer:
A 'RECALL' is just that. The manufacturer has determined the item in question, firearm, ammo, or firearm accessory has been deemed totally unsafe to use and should be returned to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.
A 'PRODUCT WARNING NOTICE' is simply an advisement that there may be a problem or issue if the Firearm or item is used incorrectly.
Many Product Warning Notices eventually turn into a Recall if litigation so determines (lawyers suing on behalf of someone injured or who has died).
As I have stated many times, SAFETY First. Treat your weapon with respect. Clean it often, inspect it before use.
If you purchase a weapon or firearm accessory especially used, check to see if there is a Recall or Product Warning Notice out on that item or model.
If you are planning to purchase a NEW Firearm or Firearm Accessory check to see if there is Recall or Product Warning Notice on that item, if there is, avoid it altogether.
If you have any doubts about a Firearm get it checked out with a qualified Gunsmith in your area.
If you live in Phoenix Arizona, I may be able to help you with a recommendation for a gunsmith. Many specialize in certain weapons or accessories.
If you buy AMMO either from a private seller or a licensed dealer you should always check to see if that Ammo Lot Number is on a Recall list. AMMO on Recall should never ever be used. Also inspect you ammo, make sure it is not rusty or corroded, if it is don't use it.
=> Important: If you shoot often you will encounter on occasion a round that will not fire, there nothing to be worried about, inspect the rest of the ammo before using and properly dispose of any unfired rounds.
I hope this has answered your question and cleared up the difference between a Recall and a Product Warning Notice.
