Reloading forum would be a good place for the post.

I have two, 1 lb bottles of 4350 affected by the recall. The unopened bottle was showing signs of swelling. Contacted them via email, received this reply.

We are offering a refund of:

1 lb. canister - $35.00

8 lb. canister - $225.00

Along with instructions for submitting info for refund. Sent the info in, with attached picture of bottles showing Lot #'s and recall number ( which they will send you). Received a Thank you, reply.

The warning said that loaded rounds should be safe to use.

Good to know.

Recalls might in fact, be a good topic for one of the *permanent* postings.

That’s a lot of powder.
I will look tonight but I suspect I have more than my share of those.

You mean somewhere like here?: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/powder-recalls-compiled-information.47578/

We do have such a thing on THR and that's where this recall belongs. I'm sure the thread will get moved eventually.

No, I meant recall in general for each THR category of threads but thanks for the heads-up on that particular one. VERY important.

Apparently, some of us hadn't seen the previous posts on the subject. Maybe these important recalls may best be pointed-out with a flag on the opening page.

Right here in this thread was the first I saw or heard of it. Glad it helped get the word out. I checked and I'm not affected but thanks for the heads up.

That's a much better way of saying what I intended above.

Some forums call them *stickies* too.
