I got this email the other day. I had ordered a case of Geco 124gr FMJ loose in an ammo can, I just checked and mine is one of the ones in question.
For those curious, this was a deal for a case at $300, which would have appealed to many. They list both Geco and Norma, if you bought it double-check it.

Edit- I went back to the recall notice, and copied a paragraph at a time, to paste in this thread. Must be a feature to limit copy/paste spam.

I'm bumping this back to the top, for an update.

I did finally get my refund, looks like 6/19 or thereabouts (about a month after my last post). The recall mentioned a 20% off coupon, I never received an email with a code or anything like that. However, I did get an email today, they are running the exact same deal: Geco 124gr FMJ, 1K loose, in a Plano can, on sale $299.99.

I logged into my account, there's a section under that called coupons. If you have nothing in your cart, it shows nothing, but a note to say "add item to cart to show coupons". Ok, so I added the Geco, I opened another tab so I could watch my account. After adding it, I refreshed the Account coupons page, and it now gave me a 20% off link. I clicked it, it said 'coupon applied'. I then refreshed my cart, and my order was $299.99 (-60.00)= $239.99
Tax was 23.88, free shipping, total price $263.87 to the door.

I'm rolling the dice and getting this, as it's probably the best price for brass 9mm
