“WARNING: Magtech has determined that some lots of 5.56 x 45mm ammunition may contain incorrect powder charges. Ammunition with incorrect powder charges may cause firearm damage, render it inoperable, and expose the shooter and bystanders to a risk of serious personal injury or death.

DO NOT USE Magtech® 5.56 x 45mm Ball M193 SYMBOL 556A WITH LOT NUMBER CBC546/24, CBC591/24, or CBC601/24. The ammunition Lot Number and Symbol are printed on the top flap of the 50-round box as indicated here, for example.

To determine if your ammunition is subject to this notice, check the Symbol and Lot Number. If the Symbol is 556A and the Lot Number is CBC546/24, CBC591/24, or CBC601/24, immediately discontinue use and contact Magtech at 763-235-4000. Magtech will arrange for the return shipment of your ammunition, and upon receipt, will send you replacement ammunition at no cost to you.”
